THINGS HAVE CHANGED:

Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.


Hi! And you are...?

I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).

Posting late

After another day of madness with schedules (and annoying faculty making ridiculous demands as if they are entitled to what they want, never mind what reality says), Cathy and I went out for a much deserved Italian meal and glass of wine. It was a great talk--and we didn't even spend the entire time talking about NCC. That's a little slice of bliss right there.

It is, however, very late, and I do need to be winding down ASAP; I have to go back in tomorrow to run a check of everything we did (Cathy won't be in, so Lori and I will do it)--which will certainly turn up howling errors that will be a snorting pain in the ass to fix. There is one class still unassigned; I thought we had a plan in place, but that just went down the drain. And as I was starting to type all this, I realized we made some changes without informing the FT faculty whose schedules were affected.

Fuck me blind. (Funny moment: I muttered that under my breath, and Cathy thought I was offering a suggestion for how to fix something, so she said, "How would that work?" Um. Well...)

Anyway, from a purely selfish perspective, the main result of today's madness was that I lost Native American Lit--and I know that if at least four more students don't sign up for Nature in Lit by end of day Monday, Tuesday at the latest, I'm going to lose that, too.

FMB.

Well, this too shall pass. Like a kidney stone, perhaps, but it shall pass.

And tomorrow ... yadda yadda yadda. You get the picture.
