if it wasn't friday, my advisees would be dead.

I am running out of patience in a big way.

I have seen over 150 students in the past 3 weeks, and after going from seeing about 3 students a week and getting my administrative stuff done, and seeing 50 a week and barely being able to keep up with that, it's getting a little tiring.

And, Tim's parents, grandmother, and brother come into town for the next week, which means zero alone time for me.

Sigh.

At least there's a long weekend to look forward to, and lots and lots of good food. And lots of good shopping.

My most recent discovery for holiday gifts is buying gift certificates at eBay. I've found $50 worth of certs for my parents to go to restaurants, and only paid $25 for them. whee!

eBay

It's true that you can still find pretty good deals on things there. Although the glory days of cheap things on eBay are long over, I scored myself some left-handed knitting and crochet books for half the price of buying one of them from a book reseller. eBay is actually a decent place to peruse yarn if you're looking to build your stash too. ;)

You may find making better use of your break time and free moments at work (or commuting if you have a train/transit type commute) might make you feel better about not having free time for yourself. At least's there's family and good times ahead. ;)
