journalsandplanners for talk about . . . journals and planners. LOL And all things stationery related. I just made a post to kick off activity, but feel free to make your own top-level posts. I'd love to see that comm get active again.
2. I got elected chair of Faculty Senate for next academic year. My plans for world domination continue apace.
3. I am clearly an outlier, but I really enjoy doing annual evaluations. I get to the end of mine, and I'm all, "I'm awesome. Look at all this amazing shit I did this year and recognize!" I have never had a problem tooting my own horn (which is perhaps its own kind of problem LOL).
4. Sammy wants to get in the fireplace, so that's A Project for today.
5. I put on my big girl panties and bought my plane ticket for SWPACA, a regional academic conference held in Albuquerque at the end of this month. I am crossing my fingers that I can get most of that + the conference registration reimbursed by my institution.
6. When Josh was at the grocery store yesterday, an employee suddenly started screaming and trying to cut himself with a box cutter in the middle of produce. It was very upsetting. I'm glad everyone in the store ended up okay, including the employee (or least not shot by police or a "good guy" with a gun), but Josh was really shaken up.

Date: 2022-02-07 05:57 am (UTC)That makes sense. In my school, we had to submit self-improvement plans by the middle of October. Like, "Tell us what amazing shit you'll be doing this year." And it's such a crock, because we do amazing shit when the need arises, and we don't know what the need will be until it shows up!!!
Like the year I devised tactile versions of games so that the blind student could play games with the sighted students. (I saved 5 mins at the end of every other session for game-playing as a reward for good work.) Or the year I helped the teachers rework their mandated lesson-plan forms to [a] save space on the page and [b] be easier to use. Or the year I spent searching the internet and making vocabulary cards to help the Spec Ed teacher. I didn't know ANY of those in October! Grrr...
