impromptu meetings should always be practiced.

You meet your favourite (living or deceased) author in a bookstore*: Who is it? You sidle over and say …. ? Will you reference their work? If so, which books and what will you say? So, is there a question you always wanted to ask him/her? Now’s your chance… They seem to have time on their hands; you buy one of their books and ask them to sign it – which one is it? Do you have a favourite quote ...

Coming Home

...11th and otherwise I will be seeing people as best I can schedule it.  I want to see everyone but who knows if a week is enough time.  Some of you I have already contacted off line about lunch or evening meetings that week but I would like to see any of you I can. I thought I was going to be there over the 4th of July weekend too but since the new girlfriend and I are totally in the exited phase,...

pandemonium over a pandemic

.... the precautions can be a little preposterous. for example, we were told that in the bangkok delegation, they have implemented some drastic measures: gatherings at the pantry has been discouraged. in meetings, people sit one seat apart. people move around the circular office in single direction (clockwise). flu kits have been distributed, which include a mask, alcogel, and tamiflu. if possible, ...

Flow

[ At Meetings, It’s Mind Your BlackBerry or Mind Your Manners - NYTimes.com by Alex Williams] Yet another piece wagging it's finger at all the people remaining connected during business meetings: the war on flow. This 'flow' Mr. Boyd alludes to - I do not think that it requires one to be rude to the people ...

Srs poast is srs...

...myself out there and made some friends with people and went 'out' at least once a week to a little place I like to call BB&G. After that, I put myself out there and joined a PTO. Went to meetings, out and about for various reasons connected to that. Made friends through it. I'm not ready, and your failure to accept that is taxing on our friendship. What am I supposed to be doing? Am I supposed to...

Why am I watching Chess?

... all done, but I feel as if I have too much to do and too little time, especially since the literary manager and dramaturgy fellow keep giving me tasks, and I have all of these various meetings, orientations, rehearsals, and events to attend. With a bunch of new volunteers and an intern from community engagement, I do have a team to help with my research and script reports. Still, I feel guilty at...

↓ Eita Right Here

... YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME: I'm a bit of mess. A little, a lot, forgetful. Besides my acting, I really love the arts. Photography and doodling especially. In my free time, or in doodling's case in a lot of meetings, that's what I like to do with my time. HOW TO CONTACT ME: You can just leave a comment for me here or shoot me a PM. Not sure about a number yet. I'm still working up to that.

The modern leper. (Part three.)

...If not, at least they are over. I dread to think what might have happened if Rebecca had not been uncharacteristically lenient and had refused to accept my Middlemarch essay!  In our two meetings over the exam period, I found Tim Marshall unusually relaxed for a tutor, strangely soothing with his calm demeanour and shaggy jeans/sandals combination. After clarifying that my essay would stand, he...

Fic: "Undo It" (Part One) - W.I.P.

... the room on the little table where he kept his post. Remus stole a glance at it before shaking his head and pouring himself another cup of tea. Nine years was a long time between letters, or meetings, or anything. He’d done it on purpose, of course. But after everything that had happened… It was better this way. He saw no wizards except for the Ministry officers he saw every twenty-eight days, ...

... kappa maki and loved it! It was AMAZING! I was so happy to have something other than pasta for lunch. ^^ I got a bunch of emails from my area manager about where I will be attending the various meetings for the Kid's summer school and Jr. High English Camp. After eating and responding to the emails, I felt sleepy, so I didn't really do anything specific. I did chat a little with in the hallway ...
