OMG, I just READ almost 400 posts.... took me all day, but I am caught up. You know tech is bloody boring when you can catch up on nearly 400 posts. Now I admit, the last 80 or so... kinda skimmed. But. I'm fading. So cut me some slack!
This might be easier if I didn't spend so much time trying to ignore people staring at my crutches or the way I walk.
:: stands with SJ on this one :: Most of the time I'm like "screw 'em if they can't take a joke. It's my life, bugger off". But kids are the worst. They just stare and stare and stare. Quadropeds unite! (I'll stop now.)
And even if you do have a career about which people have a clear-cut impression, ie. being a nurse...
Jen, I'm with you! I've had all too much experience with the medical world. I firmly believe Nurses and PT's are far smarter and work harder than any doctor. Just my opinion. No offense to the doc's in the house.
Mom says sister says asshat is moving out tonight. I'm waiting for further information.
Mixed emotions on this one Laga. Happy that asshat is out... but does this mean I can't come to family functions to shield you from him anymore? I like your family. :: sniffle :: Me wants to play!
I'm with ND and the west coasters on luring the Miracleborns out here. C'mon. Admit it. Think of the Serenity parties. Aimee, you liked them! And no snow! Warm! SUN! Lots of other reasons, but brain is mush after today. Long day. It took us over 3 hours to tech one page after dinner. Oy Vey!
As for job stuff. Ya, nothing is perfect. I have a job I love, but work for assholes (I should say my immediate boss is the best I've ever had, it's thems above him thats the problem). But, it's a steady paycheck. Shure I'm woefully underpaid. But, it's a steady paycheck, with pretty rockin' benefits. I think no matter what happens, your selling your soul to the devil in one way or another in order to make rent. Mine happens to be long, thankless hours. Nothing is perfect in this world. Sooner you realize it, accept it, and focus on the good, the happier you will be.
Ok, enough rehashing 3 days ago discussions. 32 more minutes before I can go home and flop.
bonny, insent.
Omnis, you will always be welcome at family functions, we loves you.
So I'm not usually one to write down dreams, but last night I had a Very Buffista Dream.
So I was introducing Frasier (yup, from Frasier) to Buffy, and he decided his favourite episode was Tasteless, Itself. I do realise that this is not a real episode. And the board was actually a street, and how we posted was painting on white garden fences. But Frasier started getting annoyed that people weren't whitefonting, and then everyone got annoyed at him because it aired seven years ago and we weren't going to change the rules for him just because he was Frasier.
Anyway.
!!!
Wow. That's one interesting subconscious you've got there, love!
It really is. How's the tummy? Facebook told me you weren't feeling the best...
Oh, yay! On a hunch I had as I was falling asleep, I checked one of my Lit textbooks to see if it had a glossary of literary terms. It did! So, I'll just use that. But, as I was doing that, I glanced at the introduction to students, because it was titled "Connecting with Literature," which is kind of the essence of part of my argument in my thesis. This little intro quoted Nabokov's introduction to his book, "Good Readers and Good Writers," which gives me some quotes to use to say what I wanted to say with some evidence! AND the book it's from is at the school's library, so I can see the whole article and decide what to use.
Oh, this is so exciting! I love it when everything comes together! Actually, this might be what helps me come up with my title!
IORelatedN, I saw one of my profs from this semester last week. We were talking about the thesis (this is my Women and Religion prof, and she is just fascinated by my topic), and she told me that she has never seen any student, undergraduate or graduate, as excited about her work as I am. That made me feel really good, actually. Or, it just proves how crazy I am :).
Timelies all!
Facebook told me you weren't feeling the best...
Also, how much do I love this statement? SO much! Feel better Fay, and Jars, that was quite the dream!
By golly! I think I may have a title I like! And I came up with it all by myself:
The Essence of Literature: A Case Study in Oral History
What do we think?
