Behold the power of procrastination
Sep. 15th, 2006 10:05 amSo, I'm working from home today. We'll see how well that works. Too many distractions around here. At the office, the only distraction are the internets. Oy. When I was in grad school I always went in, and because I shared an office stayed off the internets except when it was work-related. Look at me, posting on LJ at 10 in the morning.
But I can't go in today. Today is fall student move-in at UCSC. I know, it's late. We're on the quarter system. Parking services as commandeered all the parking lots for that. I asked them where I was supposed to park, and they said they have not reaped all the way to the edges, leaving the gleanings for the poor. How very Levitican of them. But I think it's best not to chance it. It's a 45-minute drive on a good day. There's only 1 entrance to the campus and 15,000 students and their parents are moving through it today. I won't live long enough to make it in today. Francis had no problems with me working from home today. He tends to view students in a similar manner as Archchancellor Ridcully of Unseen University. And he gets the reference.
Since I never got around to installing an X-server at home, doing anything graphical is going to be tricky. This is probably a good chance to review that paper for JGR-Planets. I was asked to have my review in by today and I've been putting it off to work on a model of tidal dissipation in a visco-elastic body. Yes, I actually like derivations. OK, enough procrastinating. Back to work.
Peace out, y'all.
