I had a point I wanted to go over earlier, but do I want to make it right now? At eight in the morning, I had even formulated a sort of mental outline of the way I would construct this rant, delineating major points and even adding in some examples. I had a goal and I had the drive to do it, but then work set in and I realized I needed to get my weekly mass e-mail out to my students before too long, and people kept wandering in and out of the office as well. I just mailed the weekly events to my students, and now that I have sat back down at my desk from my restroom break, I don’t know that the drive or organization to rant is there anymore. Part of me wants to sit down and think about it some more, maybe even sketching out some ideas on paper as I ponder the topic. Part of me wants to hold off on it until tonight when I can get it back into my head and refresh the ideas I was holding onto this morning. Part of me doesn’t want to put the topic up here at all because even the initial idea was only half-formed and questionable as to its worth and merit. Yet another part is holding back from spending time on it here at work because of the stack of papers I have to grade. I don’t know. I guess that it can wait until later. Maybe after having graded one set of papers, I can spend a few minutes trying to recollect the original germ of an idea which had fevered my brain earlier this morning. I suppose it’s not too important if it gets up here any time soon or not. I mean, this is just my webpage and it doesn’t seriously affect anyone’s life if I rant about one topic or another. Hmm. Oh well, it’s time to grade something or do some research. I probably ought to check my half-dozen e-mail accounts as well. Mondays are so blechy.
