WAg - Is it against the rules to request a sabbatical AFTER you’ve taken one?
Hello. This is Caleb. Remember me?
Last week was nuts. I have not major excuse for it. No one project dominated my time. My schedule was sucked up, rather, in 5 and 15-minute intervals here and there.
The next thing I know, it’s Sunday afternoon and my weekend’s almost over.
Just as quickly, for a quick scroll down the page will remind you I didn’t update yesterday either, it was Monday.
It’s funny how time goes…
And it’s threatening to be another week like that: I have a test, big paper, and long-term project to be working on along with the usual load of job, school, and life (more things to do in the first two than the third, I am sorry to say).
I am keeping my sanity in my own special ways. I got a copy of "West Side Story" over the weekend (yes, I will pay you back Mom and Dad) and have been enjoying the musical interludes. Not the depressing ones where people die, but the up-beat comedic numbers like “America” and “Gee, Officer Krupke.”
I’ve got a stack of posters to tape up, a few dozen pages of Walt Whitman to scan through, a draft to work on, and more, but I’m still taking time to post here.
…
Yes, it was a post about not posting, a cardinal, but often necessary, sin in the bloging world. Be thankful I didn’t decide to go through a nuanced, point-by-point analysis of the latest proceedings I watched on C-Span (which I am hesitant to admit, I am watching more of lately).
Instead, I’ll do a brief self-diagnosis using quotes from West Side Story:
“Hey, I’ve got a social disease.”
Self-examination over. Prognosis irrefutable. Time to get back to homework.
Hope to see you here tomorrow…only with a different date at the top of the page with a different set of words (and hopefully a different story/complaint to tell).
Till then…
