Erin, I agree with everyone saying you're an incredibly good stepmom. I wish you and your stepson a relationship like the one I have with my dad's partner, where we hang out and talk academia and writing go for coffee and are great friends. I love that. I'm sure your stepson will increasingly feel the same way about you.
This week, apart from writing a (very overdue) book review for an academic journal, I am mostly making funding applications for next year. I would so appreciate some funding~ma. Buffista ~ma is a thing of wondrous awesomeness.
Erin, I echo those who are saying you are an excellent stepmom.
Seska, much funding~ma to you.
crap, I'm not getting any work done. DH's co has Announcements coming tomorrow, and I'm all on edge because he really needs some goodness from them, and we really don't need any more quicksand times from them (4 rounds of quicksand in the 3.5 years we've been here. enough.). I need calm, stability, something good. I need to clean, I think.
Sox, much anti-quicksand~ma for your DH.
Caught up, lunch almost over, hard to meara on phone. So ~ma to them as needs it.
Is anyone with experience dealing with HR, personnel or managers up to quick review of an email I need to send?
Calm~ma, Sox, and thoughts for no quicksand for your DH.
JZ, send it my way. robin@fogelson.com.
