Goodness people, 2010 is almost over. It is amazing, how time accelerates the older one gets, is it not? I've spent a couple of days trying to skim through your journals before I started posting again. It feels somewhat self-centered of me to do it the other way 'round. If nothing else, reading your journals is a grounding experience. It ( Read more... )

It looks as if I'm finished with the paper. All I need to do now is get the footnotes in order and, possibly, add a little info in a couple of spots. Egads, I busted my hump over the last couple of days. It's a couple of weeks past my original goal, but I'm going to pat myself on the back anyway. I plan to "ship" it off to my prof on Monday.

I finally got my leave of absence approved as of October 1. To that of course I had to say about fucking time. I have no idea what goes into determining whether or not someone's request is valid enough to receive the green light, but over a month? At any rate, this means that I don't have to actually withdraw from the university while I apply to ( Read more... )

Ten pages in less than twelve hours. I finished around 5:20pm yesterday, but I missed my prof by about twenty minutes. He's off on a plane for a conference, I believe, and we don't have class again until Monday the 15th. He prefers a copy in hand, but I can't exactly give that to him, so I e-mailed him an attachment to at least indicate that ( Read more... )

I've got until five to produce, edit and turn in a paper that could be as few as five pages or as many as twelve.

I'm on the first page.

I love this shit!

6:47 am - Page one finished.
8:17 am - Page two finished.
9:37 am - Page three finished.

Took Loki on a walk from 10-10:30

11:10 am - Page four finished. Woo Hoo ( Read more... )

I don't know why it all seems so weird. I think it's just because I've been away from this life for so long, and I lived within a relatively comfortable environment since returning from Boston with my Masters degree. I spent most of yesterday laying about; I honestly wasn't feeling well. It's possible I've got a bug or a sinus infection, though ( Read more... )

I've been running around like crazy these past few weeks. I never seem to have much time to do anything outside of work, and no energy to do much when I'm not working. Currently I'm working at a temporary position, which will probably last until mid-May, from 8:15 in the morning until for in the afternoon. Depending on when Lane Bryant schedules ( Read more... )

Some ten years after our first fight over my anti-erotica stance, I’d long since gotten over that ‘stupid hang-up.’ Now it’s just fun to see how long I can ignore the book before we have our argument. Call it Aunt-Niece bonding, if you will, because I swear we both do this for our own amusement.

By now, most of us have come into contact with these things. They're interactive voice menus that are quickly replacing the dial menu method. I've no doubt that the lack of choices on traditional customer service menus, which inevitably leads to an increased number of calls to real customer service attendants for information that does not require ( Read more... )

I haven't really gone to sleep since yesterday. I've dosed off and on, but I've been tumbling full force into my one true day of rest. All I'm doing this evening is bathing the cat and getting things ready to send off for grad school-application stuff. I need to mail a copy of the U of M recommendation form complete with stamped and addressed ( Read more... )
