It's That Time Of The Year

The semester is nearing an end. The never-to-be-sufficiently-damned committees I'm stuck on have done exactly what we tell our students not to do; they've put everything off until the end of the semester, and now are frantically trying to cram four months worth of work into one week.

I'm scheduled for meetings all day today. The first one began at 8:00 a.m., and the last one is scheduled to end at 5:30 p.m. At this point it's two meeting down, and two to go.

Total time wasted so far: 4 hours.
Total decisions made so far: 1 (to have another meeting next week).
Total time spent today on teaching or research (which are my primary job responsibilities): 0 hours, 0 minutes.

I feel the need for Shiners ... many, many Shiners...
