*CRAZY* emails to postmaster@wfu.edu

Some crazy person has been emailing the postmasters for over 40 universities (postmaster@wfu.edu, for example) with a really elaborate story in many parts. One section read, for example:

I have no special powers like jesus
But then, jesus was a religious man
And I am not

It was probably 100 lines in each of 20 emails. One of the postmasters actually replied to all talking about how the last emails are kind of a let-down.

Getting Work Done

So, I’ve been getting into the Getting Things Done (GTD) time-management system. Part of the system is keeping track of everything that you need to do.

What I’ve found out is that I get new things to do faster than I do things. I think the only way I used to get work done was by forgetting things I was supposed to do.

WFU is pulling up its plants

I saw Wake Forest pull up all its plants last week to get ready for its president’s inauguration this Thursday. They must have been pulling up thousands of dollars of fancy plants.
