I couldn't come up with anything more creative this morning. My long weekend was really nice, but I'm exhausted. I need a vacation from my vacation.
How is Tuesday morning treating all of you?

eba1012, I'm glad you had a good long weekend! I hear you on needing a second weekend to recover, though. I, too, am tired. I'm having a much harder time getting up now that it's dark when my alarm goes off. I cannot convince my body that it's wake up time, NOT the middle of the night. I was completely tired at the end of the day yesterday. 7+ hours working on my tenure paperwork followed by 45 minutes of research is even more draining than it sounds. I should have something decent to upload by the deadline, however. Now, I'm just trying to get back into the swing of the week.

It sounds like you had a productive day yesterday, efmcc67. I hope you're able to get back into your regular routine painlessly.

So my difficulties with admin continue on. As I mentioned before, I'm chairing a search committee. The posting has been live for almost a month, at which point we're hypothetically able to start reviewing candidates. We cannot, because we haven't yet had a charge meeting. Why? Because the AD in charge of the posting is traveling! So we're completely held up. I can do literally nothing.
At the same time, I have to hurry up and get my tenure paperwork done 6 weeks before the original deadline, because admin is just oh so busy.

I'm living in a perpetual state of tired with no foreseeable end, so there's that. Counting the days until vacation now and trying to get everyone setup properly for being out of the office for 6 days.
Today is also Tinkerbell's Gotcha Day. I can't believe it has been 2 years already.

Definitely tired Tuesday. I don't think I slept last night. I'm not usually a coffee drinker, but I could use one today and the office is out of everything except decaf. Ugh. I forsee a trip to the store at lunch.
I'm fielding an interesting request today,which is a fun change of pace. I wish I had more mental energy for this.

righthandman, I can't believe it's already been two years! Good luck getting everything together for vacation. ven, I hope you can get some coffee and (later) good rest. I just heard from HR that they'll be setting up the charge meeting soon. Yay! I feel bad for the HR rep. She is also being held up by admin, but she's the one taking all the flack for it. At least this will be moving forward soon. We also just had a kick-off meeting for work we're doing on a grant. It was a mess. No one on my team had permission to view the folder. The metadata specialist hadn't yet been told that the images won't be scanned until January, and now she has to re-do her work before leaving on vacation. The timeline for the grant is also admin's fault, so they're just batting 1,000.

Okay, good and bad news. The good news is that we have a charge meeting scheduled! The bad news? It's on October 25. On the plus side, the position's supervisor (and his supervisor) are very aware that this is not my fault.

Exhausted here as well. I still have a dining room full of stuff. I can't wait to go through it all! efmcc67, LOL at all of that research sounding NOT exhausting. WTF to admin?! Happy gotcha-day tink! righthandman, It's a bit of a complement but mostly annoying when people can't survive without you. ven, I hope you're able to enjoy your new task! I love trying to do new things; it's nicer when you have the right headspace though.

I've spent the last 2 hours dealing with a critical issue, which I exacerbated. I would give my left arm for a coke and a cupcake. Issue is mostly resolved. Friday cannot get here soon enough.

So, H and I talked about going to see the new Blade Runner movie this weekend. The problem is, I haven't seen the first one, and I'd like to before we go. I can rent it on Amazon, but should I do the original, or the Final Cut? Has anyone seen either of them?

Well, the issue got resolved and I was able to publish the side project before the end of the day, so I'm calling that a victory. I'm still jonesing for a coke and something chocolate, though.

Today sucked for me. Angel had a stroke this morning and we had to put her down.

Oh, sarahbelle, I am so, so sorry. That happened with our childhood dog, and while we knew it was for the best, it was so hard. Sending you ((hugs)).
