Unf*ck Your Habitat: Unf*ck Your Weekend:... →
unfuckyourhabitat:
Get out of your bed and pay it some attention. Throw your bedding in the washer before you start today’s adventures (and then add detergent and start the washer, smartasses). Be honest, your sheets need washing, don’t they? If not, or if you don’t have access to a washing machine right now, MAKE…

Freestyle challenge!
unfuckyourhabitat:
20 minutes, starting AS SOON AS you’re done reading this post. Pick one thing that needs unfucking and get to it. I promise that the Internet will still be here in 20 minutes.
GO! GO NOW! DON’T YOU ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME. IT’S 20 MINUTES, NOT A LIFETIME COMMITMENT.
Check back and tell me what you unfucked.
I folded AND PUT AWAY (!) two loads of laundry I had done earlier....

Is this thing on?
Keeping in touch from Forsyth, GA to Williamsport,...
We stayed in touch through IM, phone calls, and as many in-person visits as we could manage. It’s a little easier now that we’re married. Ha.

'Fox in Socks' will make you LOL
My college roommate and I were completely stressed during finals one year. We sat in the library and read this aloud to each other. Just thinking about it still cracks me up.

Words of Wisdom for Yankee-land
According to one of my students, you can’t request “bag help” in a Yankee grocery store the way you would in the South. We would say, “Can you get some bag help?” or “Do you have a bag boy?” Apparently, in northern climes, you must say, “Have you no baggers?” This makes me laugh.
Friday at last!
I need to find my desk today. It’s buried under a sea of papers, folders, and books. But I’m feeling rather lazy and overwhelmed, all at the same time. Maybe I’ll be up to the challenge after lunch.

Good Advice
Today I thought I’d share some good advice I’ve picked up from various sources. * Never throw away your last Kleenex. * Praise in public, criticize in private. * Never turn down an opportunity to use a restroom. * Never bring up a problem until you can propose a solution. Now get out there, and be productive!
Second Life
I ventured in to Second Life today to see what that was like. I think I have a lot to learn!

Networking for People Who Hate Networking →
“Networking is about being nice. It’s about figuring out what someone needs, and determining how to help him get it. Be aware of what people are trying to accomplish in their lives so that you can help them reach their goals — either by helping them yourself or putting them in touch with someone who can help them.” Funny, sounds a lot like being a librarian!
