Phil: The only thing I have enthusiasm for right now is getting my grades done…and I’m not even all that enthused about that.
Me: What I am enthused about is having my grades done. But the problem is getting from here to there.
Phil: That is a big problem.
Me: It requires somebody to do something. Why won’t somebody do something?
I spent the whole day Wednesday doing something. Only a tiny bit of it was grading, but it was a packed day. When Linda Samek sat next to me at the Undergrad Faculty Senate meeting, my last chance to do the Tuesday standings before bedtime disappeared.
Well, here they are, and it’s bedtime, so there will be no further commentary. Let’s hope tomorrow is a better day.
