Big Screen

My computer screen is many inches wider. It suits my eyes, I must say.

I'm working. I'm only posting here now so that I don't feel like it's yet another detail I'm letting slip by.

I'm retaking one of my exams in two months. Between then and now I'm studying like a fiend and writing for a couple of conferences.

Both conferences are to present the same research which is the first part of my dissertation work, but I'm also trying hard not to jump the gun on the diss because I still have to pass this exam. In fact, if I blow it I don't get to write the damn thing. So, to the calendars, work schedules and white board to-do lists. Franklin Covey would be proud.

Well, no. Good old Franklin would be clucking his tongue and advising me to buy a larger planner with more inserts. But some people don't understand the draw of dollar store goods and the challenge of rectifying sub-par school supplies.

Oh, but a tip for the masses. Before you give up your plastic tubs, milk crates or cardboard stackers. Don't buy file cabinets until you can shell out money for good rollers or have the space to hide away the big metal industrials that file well when not squishing toddlers.
