Not much going on around here today. Mercifully, SU has a bye week, so I won’t have to suffer through another loss. I do need to get the grass cut, though – probably for the last time this season. It’s getting a little chilly around here lately, which is fine by me. I reckon I need to get the pellet stove ready for operation, though we don’t have a heck of a lot of pellets left over from last year, and missed out on several chances to get good deals from our supplier. The thought of hauling 4 or 6 thousand pounds of pellets from the garage to the basement doesn’t really seem all that appealing to me right now anyway.

All this Wall St. stuff and state budget cuts are screwing up my plans to transfer to a different job. They’ve gone from a 120-day lag in hiring to an outright freeze as our campus has just been handed another $5.5 million in cuts to absorb. Even though I’m just looking for a lateral move, I’m stuck at where I am for the foreseeable future. I guess I need to shine up the old resume and put some energy into a new direction.

I’m getting a little old for this shit, though, so I think I start out with the more modest goal of getting the grass cut, and see how it goes from there.

Have a good Saturday.
