22 WFT and counting

 August 10


Daily meeting a bit subdued. I tried bringing up the layoffs, but Nils came on at that moment to talk about the fall semester. Not even .... full full day that was only done at 8 when I had finally sent out the TA orientation invite. Phew. Before that an hour with the National Black Student Organization with speakers from Skye Jackson to her grandpa to so many wonderful faculty and students bearing witness and support. A treasure.
