jenettToday looked like this:
- arrive at 7am. Dig through my inbox (which is now in files and folders that say things like "To file in X" and other more useful categories than a large pile.
- 9am: teach most of our English faculty about turnitin.com . Which mostly goes smoothly. (Some of them had used it before, including one of our faculty who I drafted for subject-specific uses.)
- 10am: more paperwork. Help minion with a few things, then wander down to have our photos taken. More paperwork. Enter meetings with division head on both calendars.
- 11:40 : wander down to courtyard for next item. Play foursquare (school courtyard game of choice, and which I have not played since elementary school) with other faculty while waiting. (I did not totally disgrace myself.)
- 11:45am: full staff photo in courtyard.
- Lunch, over which I have discussion with co-advisor for newspaper. We now have a game plan for our first week.
- Go up to office around 12:30 to do more paperwork. (There is a theme to the day)
- 1pm: Have all-faculty meeting, which is always a secret community bonding event. This year, our "On the Myers-Briggs scale I answer not one question as an introvert" division head recognises his propensities, and has come up with two much lower-key events: a scavenger hunt in the sculpture garden, or a lesiurely walking tour of Loring Park and the local neighborhood. I opt for the latter, which is very pleasant, though I ducked out of the last segment, as my allergies were starting to gripe at me.
- Putter around the social hour afterwards, and help minion put up some more signs for books (now readable from across the library). Wander off with most of a bottle of red wine that was not drunk. (this is handy because I was planning on having a glass of alcohol tonight, and it means I don't have to open a bottle at home.)
- Go by Seward, acquiring the makings for this week's cookies, which I will have to make on Wednesday. Am now tired and achy and .. yeah. Tired.

Date: 2009-08-31 11:28 pm (UTC)What kind? It has been too hot to bake here, so I am living vicariously. (:
Sounds like a good and productive day!

Date: 2009-08-31 11:41 pm (UTC)I'm generally willing to bake until it's over 78-80°. It's been in the 104-106°s for the past week, but a mere 97° today -- it feels positively cool. {:
The cookies sound faboo. If you were local, I'd give you some lavender -- I have so much from my yard. (:
I've got a recipe for lemon-rosemary cookies lying around that I've been wanting to try for a while ... hope it cools off soon.

Date: 2009-09-01 12:00 am (UTC)(But speaking of cool summers, my tomatos, let me show you their unripeness. Actually, I got the first of the Ruby German Greens off this weekend, and they're lovely. My early Goliaths, though? I've gotten four off that plant, and the rest are green and growing. Go figure.)
I have a little lavender, but only about 1TBs, and I'd like to go higher on it. However, the co-op was out. I need to hit Magus anyway tomorrow for decoction herbs, though, so I'll add lavender to the list there.
If your lemon-rosemary ones work, let me know?
