I've felt fairly on top of things this semester - pushed hard, to be sure, because I'm teaching a full load this semester, and tacking my course releases - as chair - next, but keeping up. That was until today, when quite apart from the fact that I haven't touched teaching prep for tomorrow yet, emails, some of them urgent, were coming into my inbox thicker and faster than I could possibly deal with them. A true and accurate image would show this slurry of correspondence - but it would also break all kinds of confidences, I'm sure - so instead, here's a picture of a nostalgic pile of files on my desk. For yes, I do, on occasion, print things out and stash them away, finding some kind of security in dead trees.
