So much to say, so much to do

I have a lot that I want to say but not a lot of time in which to say anything. This is largely about getting prepared to leave for for the airport in 20 minutes.

In lieu of belated resolutions or some sort of similar post, I’m going to give a list of things I hope not to do this year. Some of them are totally self-explanatory, others I hope to get back to in greater depth…

What I hope not to do in the remaining months of 2009:

  • fix or explain printer errors
  • prep for classes I’m not actually teaching
  • micro-manage the handouts/instructional resources
  • work egregious amounts of undeclared overtime
  • imply that the user has done something wrong when the experience has an unexpected outcome
  • keep all of that crap in my inbox—or any other folders
  • attempt to do so many things at one time
  • give away so much of my time to library-related causes outside of work
  • do so little for my community
  • totally neglect my hobbies
  • fail to read for pleasure
  • rely on my memory to track my ideas and inspirations
  • dread that peer reviewed teaching thing we have to do
  • have so many unfinished drafts hanging around
  • engage in a futile battle of shushing with students on the first floor
  • allow students to trample the customer rights of other students
  • a lot more, I’m sure…
