Snowing like crazy here too. School is, alas, not canceled for me. As a matter of fact, I just got a call from work letting me know that we will in fact be open as long as the school is.

Bummer.

Sorry about the headache, ita. That's not fun at all.

We had snow yesterday, and this morning it is 9 degrees out, with wind chill just adding to the joy. I really, really wish I could stay home in my nice warm bed, but this is my first week at this new assigment.

BTW, I think I know why I've been stressed for the past several months - I've been changing jobs every two months or so ever since I moved back here. That might have a little something to do with it.

At least this assignment is temp-to-perm.

Thanks. Sadly, it's now perfectly normal -- I've woken up into a headache every day since the concussion.

All rain here. Folks just west of us got freezing rain, so I'm counting my blessings. Love snow, but freezing rain is evil.

I remember that feeling well...when I had the viral encephalitis. I hope the tests today help them figure out what's going on.

So, can I strangle my Computers and Humans professor? Remember, he's the one that required that we write a 6-8 page outline for our 10-15 page final paper. I got my outline back yesterday. He had NO comments. None. Said, "Looks reasonable so far." That's it.

Now, I suppose I should take it as a compliment, but damn. I put a lot of work into that. I wanted comments!

Were you looking for comments to give you more work to do? Because you really don't need anyone to give you more work to do. Take is as a "good job, right direction" and you'll be fine.

That's a good point. I guess I was expecting there to be some, "maybe move this around" and "you need more data here" or "you don't need as many examples here." Oh well. I will just proceed and hope it means I'm on the right track to get a good grade.

That does seem to be the vw bug track, so I'd say it's a good plan.

It does. Asking for an outline is pretty much a disaster aversion/reality check move, with an extra dose of "make them start sometime before the day of the deadline". It's not so much a chance to give the good students a lot of really detailed feedback (because, honestly, it wouldn't even be fair to do so before they've actually fleshed out their arguments), as a chance to say "holy shit, no, you can't possibly do this!" before it's too late. You're doing fine.
