Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
4/4: another one-a-day plan
In addition to posting my one good thing per day I'm trying to do one bureaucratic task per day. I'm not sure that I'll ever finish all my tasks at that rate, but it is helping me stay a little bit saner. And if I happen to do more than one of the tasks on my master list in a day, it feels like I'm actually getting ahead. Today's bureaucratic task was doing the paperwork to get reimbursed for some fairly hefty teaching & professional expenses. It's like a double good thing: I get something off my list, and at the end of the week I'll get some extra money in my pocket.
a delightful day on all levels, good friends, good food, great mahjong rummikub potluck evening
