What rough binder, its hour come round at last, slouches towards the provost's office to be filed?

Here’s how I’ve been spending my time lately.  It’s after 8pm Sunday, and I’ve been at work since I handed my kids off to my wife this morning right after church. 

Tomorrow morning I drop this baby off in the Provost’s office.

The question is… should I add this photo to the front cover or not?

A chunk of pages got caught in the hole punch, and when I pulled them
out the bottom of the hole punch opened up and all these little paper
dots went flying in the copy room.

As an undergraduate, I started filling a jar with
paper dots, and I told myself that I’d start earning a living off my
writing before I filled the jar. (I met that goal, if you can call
being a starving grad student earning a living. I might even still have
the half-full jar of paper dots somewhere.)

There is still work to be done on the program review, but now I get to head off to New Orleans with one less thing on my mind.

  • Rosemary, yes, I was thinking of 2001 as I was framing the shot.
    Or maybe instead I was thinking of the Sesame Street clip that plays the 2001 music, with the old guy trying to eat peas, and climbing up on top of a big stone word and shouting... "All!"

  • When you can fit a title page horizontally on a spine like that, you know it's a bit insane. Isn't print media fun? Congrats to the committee as a whole.

  • That looks like a very big binder. If you took another photo of the same setup but without the torn paper underneath then it would look something like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey! :)
