1. Managed to sleep in until 5am yet again this morning. If this keeps up, when we do the terrible changing of the clocks in about a month, I will have acquired the sleep schedule of a reasonably normal person. (Bad news for you, blog reader, as I will no longer be sitting around awake at 3:30am looking for something quiet to do while the cat naps next to me on the couch.)

  2. Forgot to take my medicine this morning. Know myself well enough that I keep a small pharmacy in my desk.

  3. Got a Facebook message that knitting group is cancelled for tomorrow, which is actually good because the quilt shop called, and my quilts are done being long-arm quilted, and I’m hoping that I can make some progress towards finishing them before the weekend.

  4. Helped tune some of the hiring instruments that we use for two different sets of upcoming interviews. I think that they both will give us even better information about the candidates as well as give the candidates a chance to showcase their skills. (Also helped interview someone for one of our other openings. Have I mentioned that we are hiring? I have? Because we are.)

  5. I’m finally starting to feel enough in control of my time that I volunteered for two time-consuming things. So far only one of my offers of assistance has been accepted.

  6. Secret message: Sorry to anyone hoping to see technical content here today. Today I acted like a grown-up all day and did responsible manager-type things. Tomorrow I’ll probably be writing up the final versions of some new guidelines. I might even make some check-lists. Unless the insomnia comes back, and then I’ll be up at 3:30 in the morning putting together notes for an upcoming lesson on sampling without replacement or maybe something I’m doing next week with regular expressions.

  7. Secret message 2: Also sorry to anyone hoping to see the whimsical stories and assertions so absurd that you might wonder if they might actually be true. I’ve already told you that I love stories that start in media res, but I worry that maybe not everyone does. Also, the fantastic are hard to write when I am not up in the middle of the night.
