One more day of the workshop and then back to my regular life. I’m ready for it. It has been an invigorating workshop, but I’m ready to get going on some other projects, some related to the workshop itself. I’m still trying to figure out a way to organize everything, really prioritize things. I have…

To balance out the heaviness of the last couple of posts, I bring you shoe blogging! First, Geeky Girl’s new sandals: Now, my new shoes, which will debut tomorrow at work: And just for fun, my favorite sandals, purchased in Key West last year: Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen…

Mr. Geeky turned in his tenure packet. Now we wait until December/January to find out the results. It’s odd how there are so many benefits to academic life–the freedom, the semi-flexible schedule, the “life of the mind”–but the cost at which those benefits come is so high. How many hoops must one jump through just…

And by class, I don’t mean classroom. I mean cultural/financial class. New Kid mentioned in her post about class last week that she feels insulated, about not being able to have conversations with people outside of her class so that she doesn’t forget what it’s like to be of a lower class or to understand…

Michelle, a colleague of mine, has a great post on the hidden women of science. It’s definitely worth a read. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

I’m still processing a lot of information, so I haven’t worked out exactly what my thoughts are, but wanted to get them down. And since we’re transitioning from one blogging software to another at work, this is doubling as my “work” blogging. Today was the technology day, the day we paraded a bunch of different…

Because I get to have conversations with people like this. We’re in the middle of this Writing in the Quantitative Disciplines workshop, which is absolutely fascinating–from a technology standpoint, from an ethnographic standpoint, from a pedagogical standpoint–just fascinating. One of my favorite moments came at the reception when Bryan and I began talking about tagging.…

Happy Birthday Geeky Girl! I hope you enjoy six as much as you seemed to have enjoyed five. Even though it may drive us crazy sometimes, I hope you keep talking and telling us stories. Just pause every once in a while to breathe and listen to what others have to say. Please consider donating…

A while back over at Jody’s place, she was talking about refilling her cup and the possibility that it has a crack in it and that it’s impossible to fill. I’m feeling much the same way lately. When I first took this job, it filled my cup. It was interesting work. The people were interesting.…
