Killin' time being lazy: I just have to rant

http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-just-have-to-rant.html

Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. I just have to rant. Years ago, in high school and college, there were teachers/professors we knew were more friendly than they should be, that there were some who had inappropriate relationships with students. True or not, things were different then and we didn't get as upset about the abuse of position and trust and all that as we do now. I'm not defending, just sayin'. I had a friend who was raped. And now there's a teacher who...

Killin' time being lazy: My Biases

http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2006/09/my-biases.html

Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. Doug asks that bloggers be up front about our biases. I'’ve just decided I won't read anybody who doesn'’t tell me where s/he is coming from. Why should I pay any attention to a person who does not have experience or may have some sort of hidden agenda that colors her/his writings? If the agenda is stated, no problem. See My Biases. And John Pederson's biases. Will Richardson has his "“ Disclaimer. A college education - or beyond ...

Killin' time being lazy: Grumble Millennials Grumble

http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2015/07/grumble-millennials-grumble.html

Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. Yes, I'm an old fogey and getting older by the minute. The past week just proves it. Sunday, while shopping, I attempted asking a question about a product. The young'un in charge of that area was so involved with her texting that I gave up. Or that when you're sitting at a table with younger colleagues (and by younger, read "young enough to be your children") they make polite conversation or - at the very least - they acknowledge ...

Killin' time being lazy: Reflections

http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2015/04/reflections.html

Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. Every five years, for the past 35, I've been getting together with my high school classmates (not all 105 of them, but as many as 30 at a time). It's called Reunion. And this weekend is my 35th. Gulp. Overall, I have to say, life is pretty good. Yes, there's the acedia. Well as of right now I'm 3 books behind on my 2015 goal (a couple of good weekends should take care of that). But overall?

Killin' time being lazy: Shock and Sorrow

http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2015/08/shock-and-sorrow.html

Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. It's not just that the author has completely missed the point of the story of Esther, or that she's created a relationship that simply would never have happened in real life. Getting entered for the award isn't a problem either - many books get published and many books get submitted for various awards. The bigger problem for me is that the committee for this award didn't read the book and think, "wait - what? Jennifer worries abou...

Killin' time being lazy: Making connections

http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-past-weekend-i-spent-all-too-short.html

Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. At far too late an hour I retreated to me very small dorm room (seriously? Did I ever live in such a tiny space? My mind racing ahead five years to our 35th. What could I say to these women, these sisters, then? In five years, I want to be able to report better health. To be doing work I'm proud of, in a place I feel valued. To finally get over my speech impediment and say “no” in ways that are heard. To sp...16 June, 2010 11:31.
