As usual, today has been one continuous blur of events from taking Grace to school, to teaching a class, to mentoring a research student, to picking Grace up and coming home for lunch, to mentoring 2 more students (although one was the same as from the morning session), to rushing to the Planning and Zoning Office to try to submit a plan to build a fence on our property, and finally getting to check e-mail and try to advance half a dozen other agenda items currently on my to-do list. It looks like it will be another late night.
Delivering the fence plan was actually very typical when it comes to administrative tasks in Macon. I arrived with our very professional looking letter and plan diagram, etc... only to find out that the deadline was at noon. After consulting with people on the phone and online it seems I never realized there was a time deadline or that there was other paperwork we needed to cover. We must now wait a month before the Design Review Board can meet to consider our application. I suppose this is just how these kinds of things work.
Tomorrow I am traveling to Athens, GA to deliver a talk to University of Georgia's Undergraduate Anthropology Society. I am thrilled to go since I always enjoy the opportunity to lecture people. (That is meant to be a joke, but is especially funny because of its truth.) Also the visit comes with a small monetary honorarium that will probably be spent on fuel to get to Athens and back.
Wish me luck!
Craig
