I haven’t blogged in a long time. It’s mostly work-related: I’m spending a lot of time online at work lately, investigating social networking (which I don’t know that much about) and getting ready to send out our institution’s first all-alumni email (which sounds easy, but it so isn’t).
I have to say, I’m not [...]

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO START WATCHING DAMAGES?!
Okay, I’ll stop shouting. When the commercials started last fall, it looked good, but I wasn’t really in the mood to watch. But I finally added the first season to my Netflix queue.
Damages is sort of a cross between Twin Peaks and Murder One [...]

Do you remember that episode of The West Wing where Sam wanted to get rid of the penny? Turns out, we should have listened to him. A recent 60 Minutes report shows that it costs $134 million to make $80 million in pennies.

I’m very ambivalent about my knitting. I often feel I want to do more, but I’m still struggling with anything except the most basic stitches or patterns. I’m usually the kind of person who can learn by reading, but that doesn’t seem to be happening with the knitting. And I certainly don’t [...]
Promotion?

This is kind of one of those “if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?” kind of things.
I’ve recently been given more responsibilities at work — which I’m happy about — and my pay will be raised to reflect that. My title may or may not [...]
Life Intervenes

Well, I didn’t really disappear. It’s just that everything else sort of took over and blogging got moved to the bottom of the list. Lots going on, actually, which I’ll talk about more this week. A promotion (I think), back to knitting, how my TV habits make me a bad Catholic, and [...]
