    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.

    breasts again

    Friday, 28 July 2006 9:30 A GMT-07
    Repeat after me: Women’s breasts are designed for breastfeeding babies. They are not simply sex toys. Apparently, the idea that women’s breasts are more—much more—than sex toys is news to many people. According to <a id=""

    writing the thick description

    Monday, 24 July 2006 6:07 P GMT-07
    Had an amazing writing day today—I wrote eleven single-spaced pages today! I’m not saying it’s all good, but as I always tell my students, it’s better to have pages of crap than pages of nothing. Pages of crap can be revised,

    Student writing on the decline? I think not.

    what little I know about wine

    Wednesday, 5 July 2006 3:26 P GMT-07
    I don’t have enough money to be a real wine snob, but lucky for me, some of my friends do, and even luckier for me, some of my wine snob friends invited me over for a wine tasting on Monday night. Even I could tell that the 1997 Caymus Cabernet
