Wiscon contact info etc.

I have a room in the Concourse, and expect to be arriving Thursday evening. My tentative plan is to aim for the Room of One's Own reception and hope to catch people for dinner afterward. I'd be happy to make more specific plans with other people who will be in Madison Thursday evening.

I will probably take a laptop, and redbird@livejournal.com will reach me. Mobile phone is 1-646-721-4041.

This userpic is about a year and a half old, but I look about the same.

Gym stuff

This feels a bit like rehab, in a low-key way (still recovering from the fall of a few weels ago). I didn't actually look forward to exercising, but I hadn't been in a week, and won't have a chance at my proper gym again until next week since I'm going to Wiscon (the hotel has some minimal workout equipment near the pool).

Walking down Eighth Avenue after exercising, I was in a good mood, and remembered "right, I didn't expect to enjoy that," but I did, once I got there and got started.

Office summer hours

Starting next week, we have the option of working "summer hours," in which we work longer hours Monday-Thursday and have half-days on Fridays. It sounds like a fine idea, and for a lot of people it is. Last summer, I found that very often, I was worn out enough by the longer days, including by the need to get up a little earlier for them, that what I did with my half days off was go home and nap.

My thought for this year is that I will either not do summer hours at all, or do them on occasional weeks when the chance to leave early on Friday without using a half-day of vacation/personal time seems valuable. To some extent, that depends on whether I (think I) can sort of drowse on the train to Boston and pull myself together when I get to South Station.
