At least this is the case for those of us from the academic persuasion. I managed 3 posts in June.
Let me tell you what I've been doing lately.
Exactly 4 weeks ago today (Monday), I walked into the office to hear the news that a summer course needed to be covered and pretty much anyone who was still around and in contact was already teaching a course.
The course was daily (Mon.-Thurs.) for 4 weeks, and started that night. It was a basic intro econ for business majors (even more introductory than a standard principles course). So while it's not a difficult one, I had not done it before.
I said, "Ok."
I did mention that it started that night, right?
So there went June. I managed to stay one step ahead and came out of it basically unscathed with a few dollars in my pocket. It was a fun class to teach. Lots of opportunity to talk about current events and some basic opportunity cost, supply and demand, taxation, trade, policy, etc. I would do it again.
But now I actually want to get back into the saddle and blog. This week might be slow. I need to recover from the last month. Soon, however, I will be attempting to resume a more normal blogging routine.
