Productivity Alchemy

This week is one of the few "normal" weeks we get this month, after having a great time at a local Furry Con this past weekend. We'll talk about what we're up to, how Kevin is Celebrating Success, and check in with Ursula's progress. Then we have an AMAZING talk with Dr. Michael Bishop AKA Blothar the Berserker from GWAR!!!!

Hi Folks! After a three day weekend (four, in Kevin's case) there really isn't that much to update on our productivity. We do discuss some of the value of that time off, getting some need things taken care of, and a reminder that what we do for work isn't the only way to measure productivity. After that, we have your letters, including a rebuttal to Ursula's comments some time ago about otters.

This week is beset with medical procedures, so expect some discussion of what we're having to do to stay healthy - dental issues, probings, and so on. We also have an update on our individual progress, and how being productive doesn't feel productive to Ursula when her word count is down due to other things needing to get done. After that, we catch up with Cindy Sperry, and find out how her return to the US is going!

Have we got a treat for you this week! Yeah, OK, five hours, it is VERY long, but I promise it is very entertaining. This week, Kevin and Dino talk about moving - something Kevin hasn't done in YEARS, and something Dino is doing this month. We talk about budgeting, logistics, feeding everyone, and a whole lot more over the course of five hours. Enjoy!
