@katebcarp Year 1 my husband was working a crazy job. I was alone with the bean. We were a unit. My department gave me a bassinet for my office. Baby and I worked 7 days a week at 75% speed…taking it slow when we needed to and ignoring the rest of the world. I actually miss those days.

@aliciaandrz Yes! I had a book and a baby (at the same time) then tenure. Hat trick! I did not have a clean house. I had baby barrettes in my hair during faculty meetings.

@notbencarter Ella asked for a chunky cheese bday. Daddy mark said “Sure, when you’re 18”. They had a good time eight years later.

@kevinrmcclure I live 2 miles from my office and mostly work at home. Same as precovid. I feel the disconnect more now. Our dept is also uneasy with distance and we’ve started having dinner occasionally. Maybe standing lunch date once a week. Not meetings but community.

@kevinrmcclure I’ve only gotten this boost from technical reports. But I’ll take it.

@schooldaves Great talk! Thanks for sharing.

@JennyAThatcher Fresh garland (or rope as they call it here). Loop over a doorway, lights optional. Hang a few favorite ornaments if feeling nostalgic. Uses up extra tree trimmings (points for recycling) and does not require moving furniture.

@kevinrmcclure A dean of ours (three or four ago) used to award mugs for service etc. When people started to referring to it as “getting mugged” the tradition faded.

@notbencarter My favorite was young Ella’s analysis of how much faster road repairs would happen on north side lex (less affluent) than in Chevy Chase (more affluent) when Obama won the presidency. Her prediction came true? The day after election the blacktop that had taken months was finished
