Some time in the mists of history, I developed a love/hate relationship with the phone. Without going in to exhaustive detail, I don’t answer it as often as I should or even could. (I can imagine all of the nodding of heads right now).
I did some thinking about what might drive that behavior, or even how it got started. And, after splunking my soul and a trip to meet with the Dalhi Lama which in reality amounts to a good bout of driving, I divined the probable reasoning: An over-reaction to bad phone etiquette.

While some work craziness did make me look like I got ahead of myself in saying I was completely back with a little bit of procrastination/shame thrown in.

- Building a house – which is not for the faint of heart
- My day job – craziness ensues
- Imminent travel prep – to Seattle and beyond
This is just a brief list. But, I’m back.

Having read Jen over at A Fabulous Mess I was inspired to give another post on the blog. Maybe someone is out there reading, and even if there not, it’s nice to contribute. So here it is . . . .
One thing that seemingly slows down my entries is time (I only have internet access at work and I have been super busy), but also, sadly, my life tends to lack inspiration. I could write about the annoying things, like teaching some undergrad students – my most recent experience reminded me why I am not destined to be a teacher. I believe I lack that loving/caring/tolerance gene, or perhaps some students are really, really annoying! And you may get to hear more about him in the near future if I can’t convince my supervisor that now that he has done the required course hours in our lab, that we should send him on his way.
