10 days left here at M* College. And about as many large projects to get done. Each day starts out well with a burst of energy and lots of attention. By 3:30 or so, I am left with no motivation or enthusiasm for putting some of this stuff to bed. I work alone on Friday [...]

Somehow, I just seem to be wasting so much time over the weekends lately. I get some stuff done but nowhere near what I plan. I shudda gone to the beach yesterday.

Where I currently work, we move to a summer schedule which means an hour longer day but we only work 4 days. It is a wonderful benefit and will be DEEPLY missed! While I gave a 5 week notice to be able to clean up some of my projects and help with orientation, it didn’t escape [...]

After a couple of starts and stops, I think I have finally found a topic (getting a new job and starting it) that I can sink my teeth into. Something that gives some structure to the blog but will still allow me to include more mundane and yet personal stuff.
