Nathan at the office bet that I wouldn’t last eight weeks of no-office time.
Nathan was right.
I emerged from summer holiday last week. (The back-to-school dreams are real.) At the office, order number one was to redesign my space after desk and office furniture went to the new department chair and a new-to-us conference room.
The Steinway is behind me in the photo. I now have a Mainstage/keyboard set up to do work in that part of my teaching life.
What you can’t see clearly is the new desk, a single-pedestal mid-century beauty I found at a local antique mall:
The rocking chair has been with me for nearly forty years, a gift from the Student Government Association at Southwest Baptist as I left four years of service to that group, way back in 1983.
This week’s office tasks include some accreditation work, some recruiting/articulation work, and revisions of the Fall 2021 course I teach.
