Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2009-06-26

Stayed late in the office yesterday. When all done, I beat my own work email record –102. #
Still feel really saddened by Michael Jackson’s death. #
The AP is reporting Michael Jackson has died. May he RIP. #
Did I see the news right, that TMZ stated that Michael Jackson died? CNN says he suffered cardiac arrest. #
I have sent 62 emails or meeting appointments in the office today. On my way to breaking my own personal record. #
Just saw that Farrah Fawcett passed away. May she RIP. #
Really productive project team meeting this morning. #

I saw the Beastie Boys in concert at Madison Square Garden years ago. Like them or not, they were ahead of their time. #
Have been listening to the Beastie Boys’ Sabotage from Star Trek’s movie parody of William Shatner http://tinyurl.com/ryzkom #
Just got home; what a long day. Need dinner. #
Got caught in the rain. #
What a long, though productive, day. #

In the Queens office for most of today. Doing the final step in the validation process of a set of instruments we created. #
OK, enough work for the night. Tomorrow is another day. #
Finalizing some grades for student presentations last week. #

Just read the Ed McMahon just passed away. May he RIP. #
Paper revised and submitted to issue editor. With a tight deadline, did all I could. Tomorrow night, prepare for my classes. #
Hope I perform better reviews. However, some of the feedback was very good while some clearly disagrees with my framework. To my point! #
I am convinced some of the reviewers were blind. Time and again what they demanded was in the next paragraph. #
I am still revising a paper after getting back the most helpful and encouraging feedback from the blind reviewers. #
Just learned they no longer sell those glass thermometers with the mercury. These pesky new technologies . . . #
Running some errands for Nyquil and a thermometer. Planning to get them so I will not need them; like knocking on medical wood. #
It is raining. Again. #

Finally home. Email will have to wait for the morning. #
Lovely, just saw a rat. And, I do not mean one of our crafty NY State Senators. #
Finally got back to the city and parked. #
Just bought and planted a weeping willow tree. Ready for more rain! #
