Remix news

 
Okay, I got my remix assignment. I was (ahem) familiar with the name, so I immediately launched into a comprehensive review of the author’s work, looking for the story that caught my imagination. It’s never been a matter of picking something good (though that helps), but of finding a tale that just naturally suggests possibilities to me. With my work schedule, I expected the review to require several days … but no, I ran across one this afternoon that I immediately knew would be THE ONE.

Unfortunately, I can’t get to work on it quite this instant, though that would be my preference. The leadership of my unit have appointed me as both the voting assistance officer and the assistant safety officer; one requires finishing a particular course, the other demands actual action sometime in the next few days. Plus I have a class I have to prepare to teach in two days, plus I have a dentist’s appointment the day after that, then a cardiologist’s appointment five days after that (don’t ask) … Okay, as soon as I’ve seen to the first few of those items, I can get started. Just not right away.
