Second Vacation

Light blogging: been in Florida with the vXgirl visiting my mother.

Light Blogging

Been out of town for 8 days, and didn’t set up any automatic posts before I left.

Only Now Catching Up

Posting has been light for the last 4 months. It should start getting back to normal now.

It’s been a crazy semester.

• I was already signed up to help run a conference in October.
• I had a chapter for a book that, unlike a journal article, needed to be finished on deadline.
• Then university administration thought they’d get more students by peeling off an online section from a face-to-face MBA class of mine. I ended up with the same number of students, split into 2 groups that had to be run differently. Of course, this experiment counted as an overload for me, rather than getting me out of some other class.
• And, on the second day of class my colleague Joe Baker collapsed with a heart problem (he’s fine). So I took his ManEc class for half the semester.

The best I ever do here is a 3 classes and 2 preps (a 3/2) with no graduate classes. The first half of this semester I was doing a 5/4 with two graduate classes.

Something had to go, and it was blogging!

Typepad Trouble

If you’re looking for today’s insight from Gordon’s An Empire of Wealth, it’s been delayed: I write those posts outside of Typepad, and import them, and currently the import function is not working.

Going to Moab for a few days …

I’m Back

Apologies for the 5 week hiatus.

I'm Back

Sorry about the hiatus.

No big reason - summer work piled up, visited back east, then start of the semester meetings.

Back in a few days ...

Sorry!

Thirteen days in a row of leaving work early and often being swamped at home: furniture delivery, spouses make-up class, blizzard, tough-to-fix car problem, and a really sick kid (who's getting better now).

Somewhere in there I also fit in 4 phone interviews for a search committee, and all the work for another committee that does 90% of its annual stuff in the last week of January.

Ended it all by losing an evening to an unusually incapacitating migraine.
