dchenesARGH. I'm getting somewhat sick of being glued to my computer on weekdays just so I can get a lot of email that amounts to placeholders and "we don't know" and have a lot of online meetings that amount to the same. I'd almost rather get permission to read email twice a day and otherwise go in the other room and watch movies or embroider or do pushups or something, because what I'm doing doesn't feel important or helpful or anything. It's busywork, and it's going to go on until at least early May (as of yesterday that's when they say we might be allowed back on campus).
OK, redirected my brain and started editing the hell out of the standard course survey, both because it's needed editing for years and because we have to add questions about going completely online and how that worked. I should probably resist the urge to say something like "We know, but tell us anyway."
I was going to finally order some more shirts, but since clothing retail is most likely non-essential these days, I probably shouldn't bother. I would very much like some new shirts, because several of my old ones all wore out at once, but I can still go outdoors without being arrested for indecent exposure in what I've got. And I don't have to be work-appropriate for quite a while yet. (The financial aid director, who comes to work in a suit every day, was on our meeting this morning in a Ramones sweatshirt.)
On the other hand, I haven't been spending walking-around money on anything but groceries for the last two weeks. I have a lot of leftover walking-around money for when I can walk around and buy things again. Right now "things" is books and coffee and experimental beer and ice cream and flowers and...
