The past week has been great. I’m finally feeling better- not quite back to normal but a lot better. I think we’ve narrowed down the source of the symptoms to possible side effects from a medicine I was taking and how they exacerbated existing conditions. Solution- dropping all my medicines except for one and keeping my fingers ( Read more... )

10.       Creepy coworkers I never talk to who Facebook stalk me.

a.       Max is about to buy a shotgun because of some creepy comments I’ve gotten.

b.      Denying friend requests when you’re stuck working with people is hard. Do I deny them and be rude or accept them and feel awkward? Catch 22.

2.       People who bring co-worker drama with ( Read more... )

              I’ve had a crazy week. For my own health, I plan on returning to the safety of my old lady habits this weekend. I will spend a quiet weekend with my family, go to sleep before 10:00, and complain about my sister’s rock music and her skate boarding (even though she doesn’t even own a skate board).

Monday I felt funny ( Read more... )

                Actual work at work? How exciting! We’ve been running around, flashing Bioses (What’s the plural of bios? Biosi? Biosum? A Gig of Bios?) on some of the computers around campus that have decided to stop letting people log onto the internet on a whim. What’s involved in flashing a bios, exactly? Well, it’s a lot like Mardi Gras, only ( Read more... )

               I gulp down some yogurt and a couple spoonfuls of left over fried rice and throw on my clothes at the same time. What is Max doing? He tells me to wake him up five minutes before we have to leave, because he thinks all he has to do is roll out of bed and drive me to work. This is bullshit. It takes his ass a good 30 minutes to get ( Read more... )

Normally in this situation I’d be running around, bouncing, screaming, and waving my arms over my head like something was on fire (only in a good way). I found out I got my research assistant position. So in theory, I should look like this:

                I fully intended, as I do every Saturday morning when I head to my slow eight hour shift, to get homework and projects done. Instead, I guzzled two and a half cups of coffee (well over half a liter) to force my body to stop screaming at me for being up before noon on the weekend. It was effective for the first forty-five minutes of ( Read more... )

Had a follow up interview for the research assistant position I want. I think it went really well. Hopefully I hear from them soon to know for sure. If I get the position they'll start training me right away, and I 'll be working in the lab from now until I graduate in Spring 2011. The main focuses are child relationships and aggression, which ( Read more... )

              My interview was… odd. The Grad student who interviewed my showed me all the rooms in the lab and explained the study that is currently going on.  He took me to an interview room and explained a lot of the procedures to me, what most of the focuses for the study were, etc. That being said, I couldn’t read his face at all. I was ( Read more... )

I’m almost done with my week's worth of exams and projects. I’m so freaking tired! I’ve been going non-stop between work and class and travel and chores and homework. I thought yesterday would be relaxing- I didn’t set foot on campus, turned off my cell phone and took a personal day- but it ended in me cooking, cleaning, hanging pictures, doing ( Read more... )
