Yesterday was insane–a good kind of insane, but insane. I am in the process of scheduling 21 interviews with students (they begin today), so I had a few callbacks and e-mails to make for that. I’m also trying to coordinate faculty schedules for the same program. I met with a resources person and helped them…

Well writing two posts about my job anxiety (one of which was eaten of course) must have worked out some karma because I had an excellent day today. I got a lot accomplished, including insisting a somewhat technophobic faculty member do her own work (nicely, of course and with plenty of instructions) and she did!…

My post that got eaten was about job anxiety. I don’t have that much. But enough. First, I actually like and care about my job. It’s not just a job to me. I try to treat it that way for my own sanity, but it’s hard. I like to think about what I’m doing, study…

Here was once a lovely post . . . eaten by blogger. I think that that’s a sign to go to bed and contemplate moving the blog . . . sigh. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

So is it fixed now? I took Steven Krause out–sorry Steve. How odd. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

Breaks are good. And I don’t feel too put upon to go back to work. I have some projects to look forward to. It was really nice to not have a schedule. In all seriousness, I could get used to that. Unfortunately, I really need my job. I’d love to find the perfect part-time job…

I’m going to take a short break and not blog this weekend. I’ve gorged myself this week. It’s been quite fun, but I want to take a break. In the spirit of Laura at 11D, I leave you with some links and brief thoughts for your reading pleasure. At the Free Culture blog, a post…

Following Dr. K, who did the Good Friday/Easter edition, I did the spring edition. I only had two songs with spring in the title, so I searched for flower, tulips, daffodils, and finally, birds (I have a lot of bird songs). There are a few SXSW songs here, all of which are good. In The…

I have been slacking off this week. I had good intentions to get some things done around the house, but those never came to fruition. When it comes to my house, I am simply overwhelmed. I have tried to simplify, to get rid of things, to take things one step at a time, but it…

Anil had a post yesterday about DVD Jon, the guy who circumvented iTunes’ DRM. DRM is something I am very frustrated by. As Anil’s post indicates, it’s really crazy to keep trying to enforce DRM. There are always going to be hackers out there who will crack the code. Meanwhile, the people who are really…
