Weekend

Jesus, what a rotten week. I’ve been chairing a search committee at work and we had candidates in for on-campus interviews–which in the academic world takes a day and a half per candidate. I’ve had the university accounting people breathing down my neck for year-end grant reports. And my department moved into a new space. All in one week. My job usually isn’t quite this stressful but this week was a nightmare. Just to add texture, I’ve had trouble sleeping (surprise!), I’ve been fighting some minor bug, and my mom has been an even bigger challenge than usual all week. Tonight’s Time Warner snafu was the icing on my wretched little cake. I’m exhausted.

The weekend may require some flavor of impromptu road trip. I’ll keep you posted
