I don’t understand when people are totally snide about shit other people couldn’t possibly be expected to know. I think I would have every right make fun of someone for say… not knowing who Barack Obama is, unless he or she has cognitive difficulties, is a small child, or comes from a part of the world without TV, radio, or newspapers. But when you work with someone, and they ask you a question about a task that they have been given and never received training in, I think that snide is probably not the appropriate demeanor to assume. Unless you are consciously going for a reputation as a heinous bitch.
OK, rant over. This is what is going on in my life right now:
(1) I just went home to Stevens Point for a (long) Thanksgiving weekend, and it was really nice. I snuck in a little homework, but it was mostly relaxing and fun. We played tons of board games and drank tons of wine.
(2) I will be officially done with law school (as long as I pass everything), on Monday, December 15th. In addition, Angie Engel will take her last exam as a Master’s student that day. We will be at Foundation celebrating. Come on over. I know, I know, it’s a Monday, but it’ll be fun. And it’s a big deal for me. It would mean a lot. And I have to spend the preceding Friday and Saturday taking exams and Sunday doing graduation ceremony nonsense, so I won’t get to have an actual weekend. We should be there as early as 8ish, so you can even drop in for one and then leave when it’s your bedtime.
(3) See item (2). I am doing a lot of studying. I will likely spend much of next week holed up in various coffee shops, so I can’t get distracted by the things I never want to clean in my house until there’s homework to be done. I like study breaks. So if you’re in the mood for a cup of coffee and a few minutes of conversation, give me a call.
(4) I have a job, but I can’t keep it forever after I graduate. It will serve as an interim job until I can get something else, or until they really really REALLY can't afford me anymore. If you hear of anything in the non-profit sector, or with a university or something like that, or really, anything that wouldn't make me want to blow my brains out, and it will allow me to make loan payments, please think of me.
(5) I already have a New Year’s Resolution. In the year 2009, I will run a 10k (which is 6.2 miles). I don’t think I’m going to give myself a time that I want to run it in; I just want to prove to myself I can do it. And I can. Even though I never even ran the entire mile run in high school. I often walked it. But I’ve been running lately. It really, really helps with all the stuff that’s been upsetting me. You can’t be too worked up if you’re physically exhausted. And a big shout out is due to Stray Dog Town, by Bent Outta Shape (RIP Jamie) for pushing me through many a run when I started to flag. Check it out. Not just for running. At full volume, it is appropriate for myriad situations. At less than full volume, you’re wasting it.
Ok. I’m out. Check you later (in Rory Cochrane’s voice)!
