Surviving Work
(rules as they come to me)
- If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
- If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
- Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

Friday night at our house is Movie & Dessert night. The three of us watch a movie of Lily’s choosing together, eating dinner and dessert in front of the TV (we never eat in front of the TV except on Movie & Dessert night). Last night Li

After a lovely weekend spent mostly outdoors, being inside all day at my computer is just not working for me. I am completely uninterested in the work I need to do. Sigh. Here are some random thoughts: Lily is showing a keen interest in “helpin

Student: I need to talk to you about my grade in this class. Instructor: (looks at calendar) Well, I see that it is mid-April, meaning we’re in week 13 of a 15 week semester, so let me guess what your concern is. You’ve slacked off to som

small conferences rule

I always love the Telecoop conference, but this year’s conference seemed even better than usual. I think I appreciated the collegial atmosphere more than usual because of the lack of collegiality I found at CCCC (at Telecoop, four-year and two-

Seen at Joanna’s. 1. Stay very, very organized. I love the Getting Things Done system, and I don’t think I could have possibly finished my Ph.D. while teaching full-time and being a reasonably good mother and wife with it. 2. Work o

a few more 4Cs observations
Tuesday, 3 April 2007 6:57 P GMT-07
I have high hopes of blogging about a few specific sessions I attended at 4Cs very soon, but until then, I have a few fairly random thoughts and observations: Duku Anokye’s keynote address, “Voices: The Company We Keep,” set a tone
