Kurzweil meeting

Still not feeling well. Today I have laryngitis altogether. My throat isn't sore really, and I am not running a fever. I suck cough drops and throat lozenges and go to work only when I have desk duty or meetings. Today I have a meeting to talk about a software for our visually impaired students. How strange to call a blind person visually impaired! The idea is to make it easier for online readings to wend their way through the rendering process so the students don't have to wait so long to hear their assigned readings. Such a simple thing, but it took four people a number of weeks to just make one little change in process. That bureaucracy for you. My role? After listening to all parties (Learning Center, Technology, Reserves), I simply reiterated what I was hearing and suggested a new step - post for those students who need it in the already rendered software version. We do the waiting so they don't have to. And now, I am going home to sleep. I have class tonight, and my paper is not done (for the first time since I started classes) and I already told my professor that I was unwilling to hand in a two-thirds complete paper. He graciously gave an extension due to illness. Relief. Now if I can just get some rest. And some hot chicken soup.
