Dear group,
I have two faculty meetings at noon on Monday and Tuesday. Therefore, for
those that I mentioned the possibility of a group lunch, I think we should
schedule it for sometime in January. My apologies.
My own personal schedule follows:
- Wednesday 20th - Leave for Mexico
- January 3rd - Leave for Italy
- January 11th Leave for Boston
I will be back in the office the 12th of January. If you need to meet me in
person between now and Wednesday, schedule a meeting with me or drop by.
Otherwise, I will try to stop by the office to wish you happy holidays. If I
don't see you, happy holidays!
Between the 21th of December and 2nd of January, I will be working from
Mexico. I can make calls to the US and will be available by e-mail. January
3-11, I will be at my best-friend's wedding and expect no time to deal with
work-related issues. I will e-mail my Mexico Cell phone as soon as I get the
number when I arrive.
With regards to other policies, I decided that next semester, although I
don't teach, I will have "BLOCKED" my time Tuesdays and Thursdays, meaning
that probably besides group meetings, I prefer to meet people on Monday,
Tuesday and Friday. This will help me finish many un-finished things that
have been piling up.
Realistically, I expect to respond to many of your pending longish-requests
(contributions to papers, letters of recommendation, etc. while I am in
Mexico, where I will be in "concentration mode" at least most mornings).
Alan
