I’m Still Alive (but things might make me laugh myself to death)

Friday 30 July 2010 @ 3:36 am

Because of the end of the semester, some heath issues (since resolved), working on research, and being a bit burned, I haven’t posted anything for several months. But like one of the best business tacticians of our times says, “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in”

As several readers have noted, I haven’t been posting much lately. Mostly, I’ve been working - trying to get ahead in my classes, working on research, and in general keeping a low profile. So, here’s a brief update on things

Fun With Faculty Parking

Wednesday 20 January 2010 @ 1:47 am

I was watching the Unknown Baby Boy today while the Unknown Wife went to physical therapy (she recently threw her back out - luckily, it’s gotten better). So, I got to my office later than expected. When I did, it was raining a bit, and the faculty lot behind my building was full

We Are In Final Approach

Monday 27 April 2009 @ 11:12 pm

Once again, it’s that happy time - the end of the semester at Unknown University. I teach my last classes tomorrow - in one, I hand back some assignments and talk about the final (that means today is all about the grading, and in the other (the student managed fund), I hand out stock assignments for which they must come up with final analyses. As always, the last week was crazy - the student-managed fund class makes a presentation to the Alumni at the end of every semester, and it’s always a mad rush to get it done.
