[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hmm. My mother still has a boss. Is she doing tenure wrong?
Is she in a Med School setting? The heirarchical culture of medicine trumps the idealism of academia every time.
In theory the president of the university is my boss, but the only time he ever told me to do anything was my first week here, when he said "Do good work." That was fifteen years ago.
Also Hil, as far as vague plans go, I should be in Otter Lake in a couple weeks to stay for a month or so if you want to work in an Adirondack retreat
Ooooooh.
First, a most excellent post number there, Hil. Second, insent with more Otter Lake info.
The good mood is partially because I think I have found the One True ADHD Medication, which is a tremendous relief.
My glad-for-Kristin is mixed with envy.
But being in school is uniquely satisfying because it is (mostly) one of the few times where my effort alone determines the outcome. Not so much in other pursuits.
Whole lotta envy for the people who live in that universe. For me, school was mixed up together with a bunch of unmixy things like a class and work schedule that left me 27 1/2 hrs of things to do every day (not including studying for exams), untreated ADD, and post-viral syndrome.

Ah, that'd be it. I'm not sure she only teaches in med school, but she definitely teaches in med school.
No doubt about that, WindSparrow. I graduated form HS in 1972 and got my BS in 1987. Yep, that would be 15 years. I worked full time the whole way. (and paid for the whole thing myself, unlike my full ride DH, although he paid in other ways) It still is one of the few things that I had only myself to credit or blame for getting through.
I had a GF that worked as a nurse while she was in school. Back in the days where they had rotating shifts. She worked a different shift at the hospital every 2 weeks. And she worked at a local dinner theater. She used to have a calendar where she would plot out her sleeping time. (before computers) She was so organized she boggled my mind. 3 hours here, 4 hours there. She stressed that sleep was essential to making her insane schedule work. Seriously, I don't have that level of scheduling skill.
Ah, that'd be it. I'm not sure she only teaches in med school, but she definitely teaches in med school.
Because Med School positions are more like real jobs in they also pay more like real jobs. Quite a bit more. Also, they have free lunches and less teaching and much nicer toys. It's a trade-off.
I don't know if Jamaican med schools translate, Rick. She's teaching undergraduates, for a start. I think she has a blend of students, but can't be sure. But she's always been in medical research (biochem), so she leans the med school way, and not "just plain" biology or chemistry.
I must confess my total dorkatude. I finished my interview early tonight so tried to call juliana to say I was going to head home and ended up talking with JZ. Oooops. I do know how to work my phone and read...and it was a pleasure speaking with a confused JZ. I'm a dork.
Juliana Jacqueline it’s totally close.
