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: 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.

Killin' time being lazy: June 2015
http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. For some (Things One through Three, for example), 12.5 books a year would be amazing. For me? So maybe two years of reading, give or take. On Thursday I head to ALA's Annual Conference. What are the odds I don't return with books? About a year later I started the Killin' Time Reading. I wonder what all this will look like in another eight years. Check back then, ok? Links to this post. I just have to rant. Once was when a potentia...

Killin' time being lazy: Meeting Musings
http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2015/05/meeting-musings.html
Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. Today was a bittersweet Meeting, as we gathered not just for worship but also to say farewell to our outgoing Clerk, who is leaving for a new life in Santa Fe. Today, our Greeter left to start the water, and the rest of us kept our silence. Suddenly, coming out of the Meeting House, came an electronic chime. Then, eerily, Siri's voice saying, "I'm sorry. I do not understand the question.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Killin' time being lazy: The fog lifts slowly
http://lazygal.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-fog-lifts-slowly.html
Killin' time being lazy. A miscellany of thoughts, newsclips and ephemera. The fog lifts slowly. Are back to blogging and, well, it's spurred me to attempt anew. Unlike Aravis, there's been no major work stress preventing me from finding the time, but I suspect Philosophy Mom will recognize what I've been going through. Late last year I read a book by Kathleen Norris, Acedia and Me. And while it didn't deliver in the way I'd hoped it would, I did recognize the symptoms: acedia. 09 March, 2015 11:41.
