@alicecann.bsky.socialToday has been a long and busy work day. But not as busy as the evening busier day tomorrow, which I am nearly prepared for. Kind of. #OscillatingOctober #Day15 Autumn term. No matter how busy it always feels in the summer, it’s nothing compared to the actual fullness of autumn.
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I’m thinking about how interesting it is that my job involves having a certain amount of experience in using a lot of different databases and techniques, developing my skills and inspiring others to make use of these things #OscillatingOctober #Day14 Plus a lot of other things.
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I had to make a list of the days and times over the next couple of weeks when all four of us are free for something, and realised that these occasions are few and far between. As my children get older their lives get busier! #OscillatingOctober #Day12
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I have spent silly amount of time exploring council sub-committee meeting minutes from decades ago. And getting frustrated at some things being there when googling but seemingly not indexed in a way I can see them all. It’s been fun! #OscillatingOctober #Day11
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I went out with friends to an exhibition and to catch up in the pub. It is nice to have activities arranged in advance to force me to do things #OscillatingOctober #Day10
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday has been a day of many things, home and work. Positives and stressful. It has concluded with champagne (which has sad waiting for months for the right day for it) - so generally positive! #OscillatingOctober #Day9
@alicecann.bsky.socialThis evening I’ve been explaining to my teenage daughter teaching I am planning for next week, on academic/non-academic sources, evaluating them & accessing them. And she’s been testing this & other things I bring in, critiquing & hugely improving what I’m trying to create. #OscillatingOctober #Day8
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I sad down for a while after doing a half hour bit in a module (one of my favourites to do once I get into preparing) and had multiple people stop for a chat. It is good to be out and about - will do it more often, if I can find the time… #OscillatingOctober #Day7
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I spent time updating slides for a class that no-one turned up to. I’m still glad to have done this update done (well, kind of), to be ready for another time - later in the time when hopefully more people have had a chance to realise how useful it would be #OscillatingOctober #Day6
@alicecann.bsky.socialI wore trainers to work today, intending to change to something smarter once I got there. But the trainers are so pretty and practical I have a feeling I’ll be wearing them again tomorrow #OscillatingOctober #Day5
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I’ve been pottering at home. Clearing bits in the attic (just bits - there is a lot!), hanging and folding washing, watching tv and batch cooking #OscillatingOctober #Day4
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I sorted out a drawer and got rid of half the stuff in it. Then started going through a box file, initially planning to do similar, then realised there’s a reason why I’ve kept these things. So I will be filling up the drawer again. But hopefully lose the box file #OscillatingOctober #Day3
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I’ve been making lots of plans for the next month or two, both work and home. In everything, I’m feeling the weight of a lot to do! #OscillatingOctober #Day2
@alicecann.bsky.socialToday I walked out to chess club and back, having sat working all day. It was nice to walk, to see lots of people, and to chat. #OscillatingOctober #Day1 We had been planning for Celebrity Traitors, but will have a bumper night tomorrow!
