New job is great, although having a lot of info/processes thrown at me all at once today kinda exhausted my brain. Still, I think I'm going to like it a lot. Also they're paying me super-well, so I cannot complain on that front. I just have to rewire my brain from grad school mode back into office mode again. Also, I'm still recovering from a cold/ ( Read more... )

Hallo, all. It’s been a few weeks since I last posted. In that time I have finished and submitted my thesis and been assigned a day to orally defend it (April 15, aka Tax Day, let me tremble in fear). I’m really pleased with how it turned out; I wrote on trans* individuals who came from a specific fundamentalist Christian community, and I think I ( Read more... )

So I called in sick to work today and emailed my professor to tell her I wouldn't make it into class tonight. I feel terribly guilty but God, I haven't been this sick in yonks and basically noeon's insisted I stay in bed today. Which I have done. With meds and kleenex. Meh. I feel horribly guilty for bailing on everything today, but I just feel like ( Read more... )

I was supposed to go to campus today to meet with my advisor, but he asked to push it off to Monday morning, and since it's rainy and I am a little tired and meh this morning, I was all \0/ \0/ \0/ to his apologetic email--which he probably didn't expect, lol. This has meant that I have done nothing but lie on the couch for the past three hours ( Read more... )

Yum.

Happiness is not writing a paper at the last minute. ARGH. But before I go back to cursing out Benedict of Nursia, have a meme. Yes. That one. I needed a break, dammit.

( Things about life or whatever )

Well, and I have to go to the RMV this morning, then spend two hours this afternoon in a meeting and I want things to think about... :D

A modification of the DVD meme going around, should anyone be curious as to what I'm thinking as I write (other than OMG I'M LATE MUST FINISH NAO OMG):
Name a scene from one of my fics in comments (or a scene ( Read more... )

So I whacked my hair this weekend, and it went from a fairly sedate shoulder-length angled bob to mid-ear and kind of spiky/shaggy/edgy/punky, yet oddly girly. Everyone and their mother commented positively on it today. Including the guy at Qdoba who flirts with me when I go in--he pronounced it hot. Hm. Perhaps I should have shorn the locks ( Read more... )

Dear God it's been nearly two weeks since I last posted. Have been round and about somewhat and occasionally dropping the stray comment here and there, but mostly I've spent the past fortnight working and writing and hanging out with noeon and talking her into helping me put together my awesome new bed I bought from Ikea last weekend which I now utterly ( Read more... )

Tag 8 people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.

I hate tagging people, but noeon insists I have to follow the rules (I would like to point out she's failed to give me a good reason for this other than just because *eyes her balefully across the table*), so let it be noted that I'm doing so under protest and that any of the said tagees ( Read more... )
