Re: turf problems

Hi, Carol.  You sound kind of fed up with your job. I hope you stick with 
WCenter for a while, however.  It's a valuable resource both for 
practical and for theoretical matters.  I found it especially helpful 
when I was starting the writing center here at UT and feeling both over 
worked and isolated, because it offered easy access to other people 
involved in writing center administration.  Otherwise I had few ways of 
communicating directly with people who were both experienced with and 
interested in some of the problems I was facing.
	It has one advantage over a f2f conversation: you can walk away 
from it when you want or need to.  Some days I get very involved in a 
thread, but other times, when the conversation doesn't particularly 
interest me, or when I'm busy or distracted, I just skim and delete.
	Take care,

Sara Kimball
