In my mailbox this morning:
�::insert name of prof here:: said that she left a piece of paper for me in my mailbox (by the receptionist) last week. You check my mailbox, right? If not, could you from now on?�
My reply:
�I had only been checking it for evaluation forms. In it today are 3 envelopes addressed to you, an AALS journal and a postcard about a new book publication.�
Her reply:
�Oh, okay....please just bring all the mail down each day. Can you tell who the envelopes are from?�
I know New Dean is on the short side, and her mailbox is on the top row, but c�mon. Is it just me, or is that a tad lazy?
Deep cleansing breaths. My modus operandi is now to yes her to death, and pray that once The Partner in Crime comes back there will be a more equal division of powers, Even though there will still be some things I�ll wind up doing, seeing as I�m kind of the �legs� of the office. And since New Dean is apparently height- AND energy-challenged.
After work, I got myself some lunch because The Amazing Jill, Sorceress of Tresses couldn�t fit me in for an hour. I had a lovely chevre and spinach crepe and some hot chocolate, and whiled away the hour reading a chi-chi Hamptons magazine. Then I got another fabulous haircut. I don�t care that I�ll be working (and eventually living) half an hour out of my way, I�m sticking with this girl. You don�t mess with success. (Get that, Joy?)
Speaking of Joyous, I then high-tailed it to my lesson, which went nicely. (Also nice was the soundtrack on the way there, courtesy of The Preciousss. It consisted of alternating Nields and Beatles.) I�m as prepared as I�m going to be, and The Singing Dentist offered to meet up with me beforehand to run through the assigned scene.
Came home and fashioned a low-effort dinner of hot dogs (Boar�s Head Skinless Beef Franks � color me underwhelmed. Nathan�s still rocks.), Suddenly Salad (sing it with me now) and corn. And now to relax.
[Like the Rozerem commercial, this one makes me laugh every time. Actually, what makes me laugh is my husband imitating the monkey�s punchline.]
Have a good weekend.
