I sometimes feel bad when I task a student to some crappy data entry or something of that sort. Now I'll think of you and your shelves and not feel so bad. Ha.

Today, I tore down some shelves that people had spent laborious hours of their lives constructing...tomorrow, maybe I'll make them rebuild them. Or maybe I'll make them move heavy stuff around until they pass out. I love my job. So far, it seems that the only “directed work” that goes on in my department is work that I direct.

And aren't the times you are supposed to be working just spend goofing off? :p I think I was wrong about the above number. If you include meetings about 50% of my time is 'directed work'. So many meetings... (1 tomorrow a conference call, 2 on Wednesday, 2 on Thursday (which I will miss) and none of Friday... that I will go to). Aren’t you just working on your thesis?

Today, about 70% (about 80% until i read this post). latter: average 70% range 25% to 100%. Today about 40% (i had to get a haircut and check out some babes at dover soul).
