This weekend is Labor Day weekend in the USA and Canada, an event signifying the 'unofficial' end of summer. The first Monday in September is Labor Day, an official US federal holiday, after which many children head back to school after summer vacation.
As for yours truly, I spent this past week moving down the
hall to a new office (both photos show its current state) so I will spend this weekend trying to deal with my new office. At least it's not as messy as my old office!
One good thing: I found some neat books I had long since forgotten!
Note - if you are new to this summary: This is a weekly summary of my water-related
Tweets (Twitter feeds) categorized by topics. Most entries contain a hot link. To access a story, click on the link beginning with 'http://', 'is.gd', or 'bit.ly' (usually).Clicking on a link beginning with '@' will take you to that person's Twitter account; clicking on a link beginning with '#' will take you to a Twitter list containing Tweets about a particular topic. Some items may not have a hot link to a story, which is fine - it may have been just an informational item or a personal message to someone. Or, I may have screwed up and forgotten the link!
Note: Effective 12 August 2013 I have archived all my 'Positions Open' Tweets (including grad student TAs & RAs, paying internships) at#JobWaWi
Enjoy!
Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
