the earth is round, but everything on it is flat

It's not so much that I mind doing all this committee meeting scheduling again; it's that if I'm going to do that, and the meeting materials, and the logistics, and the SOP materials, and the SOP logistics, and the post-SOP letters, and the post-SOP filing, and the Faculty Services packets, and the Governing Boards packets, and general committee tracking up to the final meetings, and the random "quick, find rooms for these criteria discussion meetings" that's been happening this week, I've got to be allowed to lose something else (like hand-delivering packets, which I loathe doing anyway). I'm starting to forget important things, and I hate that.

Or they've got to clone me and pay both of us at the new rate.

I hereby declare this weekend to be Cleaning Fit Weekend, with associated Loud Obnoxious Music. There will be much throwing away of things that don't really belong anywhere, and much putting away of things that have actual homes, and much doing of laundry and reinstating of general cleanliness, and possibly (if the new one gets delivered) replacing of rug. Which means that tonight, there will be purchasing of heavy grocery items. The sidewalks were in pretty good shape this morning, and they'll only get worse tomorrow. (And no, whuffle, that doesn't mean I'm deaf to the call of the banana split this weekend. I've just got a List to get through, too.)

So there.
