I worked hard all day, but I only managed to do about 1\/3 of the work I needed to do. That&#8217;s just the way it is.  If you work too hard on one thing, everything else falls apart.  I worked very hard on grading today.  I made inroads upon inroads.  I just couldn&#8217;t turn off everything else that needed my attention while I accomplished this great feat.  I had to ignore it all and let it spin out of control instead.  There was nothing else I could do.  I had to grade.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve basically been grading and grading and grading for days.  I can&#8217;t remember when I wasn&#8217;t grading.  My eyes are crossed from all the staring, and my legs are cramped from all the sitting, but the grading must go on.<\/p>\n<p>When I think about all of the things that need my attention that cannot be done if my grading is done, I want to sit down and cry.  I probably will sit down and cry.  It just won&#8217;t do any good.  <\/p>\n<p>The only thing left to do is to have a Moon Pie and go to bed, hoping for uncrossed eyes and calm nerves tomorrow. I don&#8217;t know whose idea the Moon Pies were.  Someone left them in my department for the instructors today.  Someone must have known it was a stressful day.  And what&#8217;s better for a stressful day than a Moon Pie?  Who can look at a Moon Pie without smiling?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you really should walk about a mile and a half for every miniature Moon Pie consumed, but who has time to think about that? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(iPhone photo #52 in my 2012 365+1 project) This has<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63,96,60],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iphoneography","category-resolution-journal","category-the-daily-happensnap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
