3 hours of meetings. Huuuuunngryyy!
As for books, not a girl, but if she likes mysteries, when I was a kid, I liked the series "Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators". It might be a bit dated now. But I liked them.

'Underneath'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Smonster, (and anyone else in her general line of work), do you know anything about the Global Reporting Initiative [link] ? How is it perceived among people who work in your field?
Sorry, was checking out the website. I am not familiar with them - it seems to be corporation reporting and I'm at a University, plus we have a separate Sustainability Office that does our reports. Their list of reporting companies seems extensive and impressive, from a quick skim. Wish I knew more.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Woot! Thanks for all the book recs, people! This should sustain me for her birthday and Christmas.

Does anyone have any recommendations of books she might like?
She might like the Amelia Peabody books. Not supernatural, but has that exotic flavor. The first is here [link]

what's a more sophisticated way to say "field trip"? I'm talking about taking my students places, but don't want them to sound like elementary school kids. I thought about "excursion", but thought that sounded a little pretentious.

My girl (10) is into the Artemis Fowl books and the Fablehaven books. She's also into almost anything historical, but that doesn't sound like the ticket here.

I like "excursion."
Or Pooh Bear's "expotition."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

off-site visit? off-campus trip?

Thanks! I got the same impression, but I also couldn't tell if it was a secret club of polluters who want to pretend they aren't polluters.
