bronchitistitis
so I was out for a drink with a friend tonight and she mentioned that her friend was once told by a doctor that the infection they had was called "bronchitistitis" or however you would actually spell that if you were a doctor, or a pharmacist, or competent. I figure that maybe all ailments and diseases should have funny names, cause at least you could get a chuckle before the harsh realization sets in. speaking of harsh realizations...i actually have nothing to back that up, but that is some transition phrase.
speaking of transition phrases, and people who write them, Ian came to visit me this weekend. it was awesome. it was also katie bowes bday so the weekend was lovely. though my bday night activities left me feeling like warmed over harsh realization on sat. so I couldn't even take being at a friends bday party for more than 45 minutes on sat. night, and I realized that as it was all people I knew from school, Ian was having a terrible time.
Ians visit was good. I really like it when my friends visit me. I should visit them more often. It is now my turn to go to Montreal as Ian pointed out. So I shoulds do that purty soon.
I perhpas could use the retro pay I got on my first marking cheque. Whats up $350 - take that credit card. In fact take that credit card and perhaps a black and white argyle sweater from club monaco, and a white tie too - hottimes.
It looks like I am going to be going back to regina for a couple weeks at the middle of may, just in time for may long weekend. Good stuff. In addition to that I will be going back when simon goes back too, so that is cool. I won't be returning for the whole summer though. Just a couple weeks.
I will be going back to regina at that time, as I would otherwise go in the far more pleasant July, cause there is a conference in S'toon that I will be presenting a paper at. SO I will get some conference funding for that. Now I just have to find a conference in Ireland, Scotland, England, or some other int'l destination so I can hook up the $850 of sweet int'l funding, as opposed to the $350 domestic. Thing about those arrangements is it is more expensive to fly to regina than london.
We have reached a memorandum of settlement in the bargaining that has plagued my life since sept. Whilst in bargaining settling means (usually?) a good thing. That says a whole hell of a lot about bargaining. Though I don't think the local did to bad all things considered, and I think it is in a much better place as a local than it was when we started. So that makes me feel good.
