Change Is As Good
I did take a picture of my new office yesterday, but neglected to post it here. This photo no longer represents the appearance of the office — Brian offered me another unclaimed bookshelf, so I moved the bookshelf on which the camera is resting to the right of my desk, and put the new shelf where the camera is sitting in this picture. I’m ahead by five shelves, in other words.
The other institutional news is that I’ve had unwelcome news on the sabbatical front. I’m eligible for one term’s leave (out of three) next year. I’d been hoping to push that back till the year after, and combine it with a grant to cover a whole year’s worth of writing. I’ve been told, however, that I will not be permitted a full year’s leave year after next, and will have to wait to see whether I’d be allowed to take a sabbatical-plus-leave in 2007-08.
Since I’m juggling a mountain of writing and lecturing obligations, that’s very disappointing news. It’ll be a significant challenge to uphold my various commitments without burning out.

Very nice, professor. Now, how long will it take for you to fill it?

Do you not think that the back of chair/jacket/books directly above look like a person looking at the books in the distance? Just a thought. Also as I am here, double predestination or not?

I don't know. I see some white space on the walls. I bet you could squeeze in some more shelves.

yikes! until you said that, I had paid cursory enough attention to assume that was Pippa...
