From nine to five my student worker and I updated the websites for both my departments. This involved checking facts, rethinking information architecture, writing prose, deciphering handwriting in several languages, resizing pictures and finally sweeping code, much of it by hand.
While doing this we listened to old time work songs. We decided Leadbelly might be our patron saint. We shared a shrimp and oyster po-boy for lunch, and drank Diet Coke with B vitamin supplements. We took a break by admiring ringtones of the King of Spain saying “¿Por qué no te callas?” We multitasked by consulting with graduate students from Comparative Literature on their reading lists.
When I got home the house was mysteriously clean and I remembered that this was what I had done in the morning from six to eight. I have more work to do but I think I will go out.
There really is a picture on this video. It is only blank the first few seconds.
Axé.

That is a *lot* of work for one day. I hope that the departments are appreciative.
Is it a lot of work? It felt good, though, because we had fun and really got it done, and we were so efficient and professional … not entirely a common experience at our university. It always seems to me *you* are productive like that on *all* days. One department appreciates this work and another doesn’t.
