Four meetings today. All big and emotional. Two of them I led. In one I stood up to the administration in front of the accreditation commission.
In addition, four one-on-one conversations with people who are afraid they’ll lose their jobs. Which, as you can imagine, is very draining.
An angry confrontation with a former colleague who thinks I’m somehow to blame in this debacle. (Obviously, I was not the angry party in the interaction).
Also, two meetings with students on unrelated issues.
I also made fresh blini at 5:50 am of which I myself can’t eat even one.
And.
In the midst of all that.
I got some really good writing done for my book.
That’s what I call discipline.
