Ugh. Why do I feel so achy all over every once and a while?
I'm going to Quest tomorrow. It's supposed to be vaguely cult-ish. They have a coffee shop inside. Film at 11. Although that's fairly accurate, since they have recordings of all their sermons online.
I got this ginger-lemongrass vinegar in Newburyport at a place that sold olive oil as well. they had tastings of everything in the shop. Frankly, I can't tell one olive oil from the next. But the vinegars... Well, it wasn't cheap. I didn't expect it to hold up in cooking. Surprise! It's amazing. All the flavors stand up to even heavily-spiced stir-fry. Quality stuff.
My sister's boyfriend is a morning person. On vacation, he would get up shortly after me, and we sat in the main room with our laptops, occasionally sharing a gripe about the connection. It was actually quite nice. I hope she keeps him.
Summer's almost gone. It's chilly again. I could cry.
I had a Talk with my boss the other day... the one where he says the project isn't going anywhere and I should consider switching to a different protein. Um. That was the most depressing work-related conversation I've had since the S lab.
It will be interesting to see how this year plays out. I should probably be more worried than I actually am, but frankly I was never in this for the degree. If they say tomorrow, "no more funding, goodbye and good riddance" than I will leave and try to get a teaching position at a community college somewhere or maybe join Americorps or something, depending, lol and oh well. I already have what I wanted, quite frankly. I can understand science to the degree I didn't before. Oh, sure, I have leap-years to go. There's a vast universe of skill and knowledge I don't yet have. I could never run a lab at this point, not even close.
Maybe I should be worried that I won't get a job. I AM worried about my ability to function in a teaching job with so little experience, but there's not a lot I can do about that.
