    Surviving Work

    (rules as they come to me)

    1. If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
    2. 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.
    3. Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

    Bernhard Schlink’s The Reader

    Tuesday, 22 June 2004 11:59 P GMT-07

    Dropping off the face of blogworld

    Tuesday, 1 June 2004 11:59 P GMT-07
    No, I'm not dead or injured. After the end of the semester, I needed to do nothing for a while, which I did. Now I am back. I still have some 4Cs and Telecoop sessions to respond to, but in the meantime, I'm taking a class at UCD taught by Bradford M
