The Now: June 29, 2022

After last Friday's Supreme Court decision, I find myself struggling to get through the day. It's really hard to motivate myself when I know that this country does not see me as a full citizen. Why should I keep going if I don't matter?  

But I'm taking each day one at a time. My emotions are still high but I'm trying to focus on the things I can do right now.

Here's what has my focus.

WORK
  • Research Assignment Design: Did another pass of coding. This time, I worked on where emotions and emotional description arose in the transcript. It's impossible to remove emotions from the research process. On this pass, I looked at where the interviewee specially discussed or expressed emotions either with regards to themselves or their students.
  • Presentations and Publications: I gave my organizational webinar on internal communications. It went well and ended with some great conversation and questions. Now, for a break.
  • LibGuides: No movement here. 
  • Instruction: I thought about starting to clean up my instruction folder but it's a daunting task. I'm pushing this one off for a bit. I did review our revamped request form. It's long but SO MUCH better than our old method.
  • Administration: I did a deep clean of my email. I deleted a ton of stuff and added tasks to my Trello workspace. Renamed a few more folders and files in my OneDrive. This is a slow but steady project.

PERSONAL
  • Estate Planning: [thisclose] to finishing the conversion of my last account. Just waiting on the company to finish something on their end.
  • Email Newsletter: I'm wrangling my last scheduled cross-promotion. I also added The Sample as an automatic cross-promotion through Substack. Interestingly, I had someone I cross-promoted with a while ago reach out to discuss how I decided to offer paid subscriptions. It was a nice conversation.
  • Home Projects: Started poking the husband to schedule a professional house cleaning for my birthday. It's the bestest present ever.
  • Hobbies: I wanted to send out some feminist postcards to my friends, but I just couldn't work up the energy. Maybe this weekend.
