Away at putting my desk together, that is. I'd like to get some work done and knock down my distressingly long list of MUST DO TODAY items. Especially since some of them are abour a week old.
We've decided to not go to the Kinesiology Fall Social tonight after all. I'm still not feeling really kindly toward everyone, and I have a long and unfortunate history of Incidents (like the one at Planet Hollywood, for example) that makes me unwilling to go.
There's an interesting job opening at the IU Alumni Association that is three whole grades higher than my current one. If I can get a resume together in time, I'm going to apply. Maybe I'll get an actual office.
I also need to work on organizing Trouble and Ruin. Somehow, the chapters got mixed up, and it's confusing me. Kate has been teaching me that Organizing Is Good, and of course she's right.
The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

That's the kind of thing I like to hear!
No, not "of course she's right" (although that's good, too). Organizing -- and thinking about changing jobs. I know you like a lot of the folk there, but what a tough place to be physically. Of course, a higher grade (and probably better pay?) would be good, too.
Plugging away is what you have to do, especially when like most women, you have multiple tasks to accomplish and can't just through everything aside for one project.
To quote the late lamented Ms. Butler: "You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence. It's just so easy to give up!"
Don't give up!
LOL -- throw not "through." Ay yi yi. I teaches English!
