This week feels like it is socking me in the jaw.

Nothing to do but try and hang on.

I am trying to order some big-ticket items for my course, but of course everything is delayed and out of stock. What will frustrate me the most is if I don't wind up being able to spend out my course budget before the end of the fiscal year (May 31), because then it looks like I don't need the full course budget, when the opposite is true and I can't spend it out sooner because I need to retain a reserve fund for last-minute emergency items for the course in the spring. Yargh.

I did get to start teaching my students about kidney function yesterday. When I first learned about kidney function, I mostly recall that nothing made any sense. So there's a part of me that's now determined to ensure that students don't just wind up feeling like kidneys work according to "magic."

We'll see.

Oh, I hate, hate, hate unthinking use it or lose it budgeting!

People who impose it should have it done to them. "Oh, hey, Mr. University President, I see you didn't spend your whole salary this year. There's still some sitting in your checking account. Guess you don't need it for next year!" ;>
