Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2003 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

I volunteered for an assignment to sell textbooks for Cody's at Alliant University, which is basically a school of psychology in Alameda. We're there 9 to 5 five days this week, so I've been getting to work at 8 or 8:30 and leaving work at 6 or so. Contrary to common sense, though, I have scheduled events for four of this week's five evenings. Yesterday I performed badly at A Cuppa Tea. Tonight I introduce Bruce Sterling at Cody's and watch TV. Tomorrow I participate in a focus group. And Friday my sister and I watch a highwire act at Zellerbach Hall. Yay in that many interesting events wll occur, but will I run myself ragged? Tune in Saturday to find out! Uggh...I can't move...
