how do you sit all day?

While I was walking today I had a running narrative for this column in my head. Plus one for my March goals. When I finally opened the blog I forgot.

Then I stood up.

Now I remember.

I stand at two of my three jobs. My online job I sit. But usually for less than two hours.  I have a deadline of Sunday to apply for several teaching jobs. I spent hours trying to write a curriculum vitae. CVs, I found out, tend to provide great detail about academic and research experiences. Where resumes tend toward brevity, CVs lean toward completeness.You pretty much need to tell them everything except when you pooped last.  Though that might be on the list somewhere. I spent hours digging thru disks and paperwork.

Then I got up. And I couldn't move.

Clearly, when you have these marathon sessions at a desk, you need to get up at least every hour. And maybe run to the second floor.

I put on my coat and went out. The sun was deceiving. I didn't take gloves or a hat and I needed them.

I headed up Fiot, then out Sioux, crossed Broadway and went out Summit. Then it was down Monclair and into Ahart's to get groceries. Then out Broadway to Brodhead, and back home via third and Delaware.

Nearly fell on my ample tush on Third. The ice going up the hill was awful. Clearly, sneakers were not a good idea.
