I would have gotten you terribly wrong, so now I'm <i>especially</i> glad you laughed and set things right. Oh allright. Actually I understood it had been students.

These were other staff!!! (And I still feel guilty, even so... ;-P) Oh even I can constrain myself when it comes to students: students searching for supervision or advice have every right to knock on my door!

I think I was affected by spontanious empathy as I will be knocking on doors this year, too, when looking for a supervisor and lively remember how both feels--the recoiling and the ground standing. *smile No need to explain yourself–mucho appreciated though by the ethnographer.

Yes, but even a very busy schedule requires some time for myself - and blogging, and reading certain blogs, and participating in my reading group, are what I do to go a bit less insane when I'm under pressure. :-) I've had a few people locally suggest that I should drop blogging, or my reading group, in order to take on additional responsibilities (generally responsibilities that would help them!): my response is that these things are non-negotiable - they give me a way to recharge, so I have the energy to do the other things I have to do. I'm currently carrying more than a full-time teaching load, covering various research and administrative responsibilities for projects <em>other</em> than my dissertation - and in theory there's a dissertation to be written as well: that's enough work for one person! ;-P (That's my story, and I'm sticking to it... ;-P) LOL!
