unplugged

i'm very late on a book chapter, so i'm unplugging the phones, email, web and human connections until i can finish it sunday night. i was better with research deadlines before becoming chair/editor, but my writing has taken a back seat to my administrative roles the past few years. while i hate to be out of touch on department and contexts business, i'm hoping they'll survive the rest of the weekend. i'm just feeling truly awful about being the sole bottleneck on this and other projects. so, i'm going offline until i can put this thing out of its misery.
