That's it, that's the post.

Monday we had a department summer potluck. To make that work, I got up early Monday morning to bake some frozen samosas and potato-onion puff pastry things, and made up a batch of delicious cilantro chutney to enjoy with them.

Then I had to scramble to put together a workshop on career networking that I held yesterday. Ultimately, only my own research students participated, but I think we got some things from the time and conversation. And I'm glad to have an initial version put together that I can continue to improve in the future.

There was a rowing club board meeting yesterday evening, and really, the net effect of all these things is very little down time to work on tasks that require concentration.

There are some lights at the end of the tunnel, thankfully. Our research intensive wraps up next Tuesday. Some of my July travel plans got canceled, so that should buy me more time at home to get myself organized and work on the things I'm behind on.

Overall, good problems to have. Just, the blog is getting the short end of the stick right now.
