Favorite thing to say before grabbing the swatter: "They-ah is gonna be killin' he-uh today, and I'm gonna do it."

Except you need to substitute the name of your group for carboosters.
Hi alabamalady,: "I don't work full-time anymore, but I work 32 hours a week, which is almost the same (I get Thursdays off). My trick is to go for a half-hour walk after work, and then to let myself unwind for an hour before I hit the diss work. Then I post on the daily (I really like to co-pact, especially lately) that I am going to do 2 sessions of 45 minutes (which is all I can usually bring myself to do after a full day's work). Then I make myself quit after 2x45, no matter whether or not I still feel like going. And I read fiction, or chat, or do something mindless before bed. That way I don't burn myself out.



The only exception I make is when I have a deadline within a few days--because I can sleep more after I make the deadline.



I also do at least 5 units of work over the weekend. I try to always take Sundays off, but make some exceptions.



Everyone seems to have different strategies, though, as I'm sure you'll notice when other people start responding to your post.



I hope you'll be as nice to yourself as you can possibly be. Transitions are really hard, even beyond trying to figure out a new workable schedule."

2. the little grinder drill attachment that I am going to use to sharpen my shovel and dig up weeds

3. the battery charger

The Register: "Perseus' study doesn't see a 'community' as much as a graveyard. The average weblog is only updated once every fourteen days, and Perseus concludes that 'the majority of blogs started are dissolving into static, abandoned web pages.' Well, maybe people have simply got better things to do. This is not a bad thing.

CAQDAS Networking Project: "OS X"
I'd love to see a non-profit, uncopyrighted website that

collected free disciplinary readings that could be automagically

combined into downloadable coursepacks. Or just open it to

instructors to prevent crushing bandwidth bills, and let them

worry about distribution to students. I suppose such a site

could also collect lesson plans, etc. although those usually need

to be taken in a particular context to be very helpful. Please

promulgate this idea so someone else will throw this together :)



Think of a Napster for free (legal) textbooks. Bookster (the

domain is only $5000). It's arguable that I'm just describing

Google.





I'm not ready to throw out traditional publishers, however,

because despite the numbing sameness of many composition

handbooks, there is still great stuff out there that probably

wouldn't have ever emerged without a publisher (and tenure

requirements).
