I'm up. Coffee and then start scrubbing, run to hardware and grocery. And it is supposed to be stupid hot again. And my mosquito bites itch.

Well out of three things yesterday, I managed one--to make the pound cake. Oh well. I have plenty of time on my hands for cleaning and whatnot today.

I can finish my coffe before I start anything, right?

I did close to nothing this weekend. I am very lazy.
Am I weird to be annoyed that my university is pushing really hard for faculty/staff donations? I understand that high level deans and presidents probably should give, but when we haven't had raises over 1-2 percent, and we have seen sharp increases in health care and parking, it seems like a lot to ask.

It is slightly better than when our school made and sold a cookbook, like women's groups used to. We lost so much money.

I'd be annoyed too!

I'd be annoyed, Sophia.
Yay pound cake!
Way to go, Burrell! That's huge!

The status is NOT quo.
If it's like my little independent school, it's not about the amount donated but the percentage of the faculty who give. Saying 100% of the faculty donated, for example, helps them apply for other money. It doesn't matter if you only donate $5.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it's annoying, and I'm a fundraiser! It just doesn't make logical sense to me.

I think this is probably what's driving fundraising like this across the country. Though if they don't stipulate the last sentence (a lot of nonprofits do say that line) it's a really tough thing to ask.
Hooray Burrell! Well done and congratulations on the new-to-you fridge.
Huge cheers for Aims today. Your classroom looks amazing.
One more day and then school starts for us. Can't wait. Neither can HPF.
