Dear everyone:

[maradydd]

Yes, I am ignoring you. September and October are when the early-spring conferences have their deadlines, and I have somewhere between four and six papers to finish between now and Halloween. You do the math. (The research is done, I just have to get it out of my head and my notes and into LaTeX in a form that other people can recognise.) Yes, you

Wow, I really want to cut-and-paste this for the past few months of my life too. You just totally nailed it perfectly.

I too feel your pain\ldots{} just knocked off a journal deadline myself. And spent 24 hours of the last 48 without electricity and unable to work on the submission. Gah.

Sorry you're so head-down, M. Best wishes. And I'm glad you had a chance to make the post -- I was growing mildly antsy, though I was pretty sure I'd hear one way or another if anything Srs was up.

I hear really bad things about snorting the free bases of alkaloids, so if you want your caffeine that fast, make sure it's a neutral salt.

Just for once I would like to write a paper based on completely finished research. Usually, we end up doing last-minute retests because of the insights from the writing process.

Anyway, best of luck.
