I'm a little angry and disappointed with myself because it has been so long since my last post. I went under with a crush of meetings and issues, so rather than make this a long whining post I thought I'd throw out what has happened since then.

Since March 20:

- I had 45 PSU meetings and phone calls totaling about 55 hours
- sent 996 e-mails
- received 2,361 e-mails
- took a day of vacation
- attended SIGUCCS in Savannah (gave a presentation, Jim Leous and Sarah Jean Selzer did too)
- saw two plays, a live band (2), coached a soccer game and a practice, hosted a cast party

Those Penn State telephone calls and meetings were about or with;

ediscovery, external network provisioning, kicking off the Internet2 search committee, ITS services via a student luncheon, the upcoming efficiency and cost saving conference (I'm on the panel), Faculty Advisory Committee on Academic Computing (FACAC), President Spanier, Jeff (3 times), ITS budget issues with Jeff, Pam, and Wes, CTSA (2 times),
vendor call, workflow show and tell, College of Education Deans meeting, ITLP team meeting, open source software licensing with the PSU Intellection Property Office and University Counsel, telephone call with faculty member in Electrical Engineering,
monthly ITS Senior leadership meeting, Dickinson School of Law accreditation visit, Penn State Forum (Dewayne Wickham), vendor call, University Counsel, Academic Leadership Council (all of the Deans and Chancellors), AIS business systems show and tell, Digital Preservation Steering Committee meeting, SRDP (2), Smeal College of Business Deans meeting, Identity and Access Management kickoff, internal iTunesU call, 1v1 climate breakfast, Penn State User Services Conference, telephone call with Purdue, telephone call with OPP, IPAS and security training meeting, research strategy meeting, and a Departmental ID internal call.

If any of this looks interesting to you or you have questions about any particular meeting or conversation, drop a comment on this blog. I'd greatly prefer that over an e-mail :-) and besides, somebody else might have the same question.
