Nora, GC posted about her GRE scores in her LJ. She did well.

That would require two Stargates and, really, our electricity bills are high enough.

You just need to liberate a couple of ZedPMs from someone else's unattended ... uh, sorry, never mind, nothing to see here.

I saw that after posting my query here. Thanks!

One bio lecture down. Two more to go today. I can't decide if I should take a little break before listening to the next one, or if I should just try to jump right back in.

Good news is, I think I understood it! Kind of, at least...

They really do treat us well. And not all the work is this tedious. Most days there is a mix but today is really mind-numbing.

And it's not chimp work mind numbing, its dull dull dull yet wildly intricate detail.

So whenever I have a day like this (and they really aren't that often) I remind myself WHY I don't go find another position.

Somebody hold me back before I go tearing into pro-war conservatives on a forum where it'd be inappropriate. I don't have the time and energy for a flamewar right now. It's a discussion on a writing group that started with the new Pride & Prejudice adaptation and with screenwriters and directors who do and don't get Jane Austen. Someone said she thought Mel Gibson could do a good job. A few people, myself among them, said that was nuts--I remarked upon the utter lack of bloody torture scenes in JA's canon, hoped he never noticed the Napoleonic Wars, and expressed my gratitude that there are already filmed versions of Master & Commander and the Sharpe series because Mel as Aubrey or Sharpe would make me cry and cry.

Anyway, we started discussing personal boycotts, and the discussion turned political. One person was all, "I boycott Susan Sarandon because I have relatives who are soldiers."

I'm having to restrain myself from flying into her. I have a nephew who's on his way back to Baghdad after a brief visit home RIGHT NOW. He doesn't support the war, but he's serving honorably because he's a soldier. And he's worth 10,000 of those piece of shit chicken hawks who lied to this country and the world to send him there. I have way too much respect for soldiers to support risking their lives for anything less than a truly JUST and NECESSARY war. Nice to know HER kind of support for soldiers means shutting up and sitting down.

Hell, let her have it.
