Working in the Cold

Random Musings Header

It’s the coldest day of the year, so I knew what to expect coming in to work today: the window washers for the seven story building nest to where I work would be out cleaning the windows today.  It never fails that they are always up there on the most frozen day of the year.  Now, they either have the cruelest boss in the world, or the world’s most unlucky schedule maker.  Either way, I look at them and think back to the worst jobs I have ever had, and think “at least I was never sitting on a plank of wood 5 stories up working with water on a near freezing temperature day.”

Of course, I am now sitting in my office with the A/C blowing on my, a huge sweater and my coat on to stay warm.  But I get to sit here and do blogs like this.  So, I’ll put up with the temperature.

Especially since I get to work on some fun things.  I am finishing up a rough draft on a chapter in a Web2.0 in Education book.  My chapter looks at Web3.0 and the future of online education.  It’s really fun, and I hope it passes the next round of approvals.  If not, I am presenting on this same subject at a conference in June, so I can at least use this content there.  I also need to get to work on an article about choosing between a blog or a discussion board in online classes.  Should be fun to write, also.
