So, because I'm a limping thing that limps from a resurgence of an old injury no one can figure out how to fix, it's not that much of a stretch to see how I managed to knock off all of the Spouse's papers from the coffee table on my way to the kitchen, even with as much space as we have in the living room.

Spouse: You knocked over all my papers.

It's sad but true -- I'm just too busy at work to take breaks or even spend more than a few minutes with people to talk about anything other than work.  For that reason, a lot of people, even the ones who have been there nearly as long as I have, have absolutely no idea what I'm really like.  In particular: I'm really fucking inappropriate.

I'm at my desk where I hate to be (I'd rather be in the lab), writing up a report on a Thing I Did that needs to be officially documented with all sort of statistical bells and whistles before I can write the paper for publication submission in September.  In other words, my brain is simultaneously in Just push through it, you'll finish it and Fuck ( Read more... )

I was making breakfast this morning when I had a few minutes of waiting before everything was ready.  My back was sore so I laid down on the kitchen floor.  The Spouse walks in and makes a face ( Read more... )

In some sort of psychotic fit, I decided to make myself my own slouchy beanie hat.  Mostly, this comes out of a desire to have a slouchy beanie hat in the first place, but it was compounded when I realized that outlet stores have crappy beanies for 40$ (CND)  and an attempt to support my local Etsy craftsperson came up with prices that weren't that ( Read more... )

Sorry, sorry.  I've disappeared off the face of the earth.  I'll claw my way back and make a real post later, but for now, here, have three conversations:

I go to a massage therapist who specializes in sport injuries and kinesiology -- his massages aren't relaxing, but I do manage to sleep the entire night through instead of waking up and ( Read more... )

One of my colleagues is prone to... hysterics, I suppose, though mostly out of fun.  He's also a fan of weird science fiction tropes, like, oh, the TV series, V, or, well, lizard people in general (don't ask, because I really don't know).

After a what the hell discussion about a problem we've been having, and coming up with no conclusions except ( Read more... )
