Zero Hour is just about here, heh. The first conference presentation is this coming weekend (eep), then there's an invited lecture one week later (double eep -- haven't really looked over this research project since the summer and I'll only have a week to pull together the lecture), and then two weeks after that there's another conference, although at least that's on the same topic as the lecture. So it's about a month until I'll be gasping with relief and trying to write more Kaleidoscope. ;)
Oh, did I mention the piles of student assignments that I've been slow in grading and returning because of spending lots of time getting the conference presentation together? ;P That will be my Sunday!
Oh my, looks like you have a lot on your plate these days! Makes me wonder if I would have had it in me to make the career in academics that I used to dream of. Especially in the US (foreigners coming to Norway tend to think we work very little and value our leisure time more than most...).
The bright side is that it shows you're in demand?! I do hope you're able to take a small break every now and then (and enjoy some ice cream and a nice fic;)).
I will surely be looking for new Kaleidoscope updates when the time comes :D

The fics are there if you find the time, and yes, they are absolutely great for a work break!
How are you - any hopes of less workload on the horizon?
