Where on earth is that woman?

Day-job continues Beyond Insane. Yesterday's high-point was the milkshakes I hunted and gathered on the way home, and with which Steve and I toasted the fact that no perfessers had died at my hand. Score!

If you've emailed me regarding Eidolon orders, Saltation orders -- or, well, anything, actually...I have your message. Thank you for writing; I love you guys. No, really. Last night's choice of what to do with the jolt of milkshake energy was (1) answer accumulated email, or (2)work on Fledgling revisions. Theo won. Email might be on this evening's agenda. It could happen. In any case, I will answer; just be patient.

At the day-job, today is payday. That's something, eh? Oh, and my friend over in Trade Books at the bookstore writes to let me know that two copies of Duainfey are up on the New Books endcap. As I've yet to actually see Duainfey in the wild, maybe I'll stroll over to the bookstore and take a look. Maybe I'll treat myself to a mocha while I'm out, and take the long way back to the library. This is beginning to look like A Plan. And if Somebody destroys the photocopier while I'm out, well...tough.

I see on the weather map that the remains of Hanna Storm are due to scramble over Maine on Suday. Be a nice day to go to the ocean. Hmmm. *Grasshopper Writer and Deadline Writer set up for the best two outta three in arm-wrestling*

New folks on the f'list -- welcome! We're a little disorganized hereabouts, and never really cleaned up after Denvention. Right a chair, find a glass and make yourselves at home.

Everybody have a nice day. Stay outta trouble, if at all possible. If it's not possible...well, pick your hill, right?

Later.

This perfessor restrained herself from killing any administrators today. We did cheer this week as two got shipped off the the nether regions of somewhere, however. Boss Conrad will be talking to our Dean soon. She is too dumb to take the deal. We will dance and sing.

Duainfey spotted in small local-owned chain bookstore -- Schuler Books in central Michigan.

Ghod, is Admin going crazy at your school, too? What's with that?

Though, the Department of the Accumulation of Stuff did recently reduce the number of years that we-the-staff have to Save Paper. This makes me happy, and the interior of my Sekrit Closet looks Positively Cheerful, as there are now eight big Bankers Boxes in there marked DESTROY. Makes me feel all mad-scienc-y...

The last 6 or so years here have been "run the school as if it is a business". "Students, who cares about students." Can we turn a profit! (please note: I teach at a Community College for ghod's sake). They cancelled classes full of students to try to make faculty get on the band wagon. We are artists. They didn't seem to get that we will paint the wagon, we will create sculpture out of the components of the wagon, we will stand and sing "HELL NO WE WON'T GO", but we won't get on the wagon. It has been an interesting few years. Being unionized has been a good thing.

We have a new president. Boss Conrad has made a list.
