Another Year in Review

So the SOD has asked for an annual inventory of what each of us has been doing (I feel like Lance Armstrong asked "What have you been on? I've been on my bike!") I guess it is possible they don't really know what is up though. Considering I don't even remember what I have been doing I can't so much expect that they would.

Anyone out there that is around my j-o-b, did I forget anything?

Anyone out there in the tenure/promotion game, am I doing enough?

Anyone else, wonder why I am pooped?
