2016

The new year is here. I am rather ambivalent about it. The most significant thing that has happened so far is that our new boss has arrived. Considering the administration’s schedule for her, I won’t see her until later this week.

As it is the beginning of the semester, I have a dozen pressing things to complete over the next few weeks. Most of it is instruction preparation. Others are committee work and general librarianship. The usual trifecta. I still seek to discover the pattern in the chaos and  be able to develop a structure that keeps the chaos manageable.

There’s not much more to say about 2016 yet. I haven’t heaped expectations on it. I have been introduced to Acceptance and Committment Therapy. As I learn, I imagine that some of the concepts associated with it will have a bearing on the year. We’ll see. For now, I am tired from shifting my schedule back to mornings. These three paragraphs were difficult to focus on. Time for a short nap before arrival.
