I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Jesse, my stretch teacher has us do isolation exercises with the torso, hips, etc. I find it surprisingly difficult.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had trouble isolating body parts for movement when I tried belly dance, but I'm not great at isolating them in most other situations so I don't think belly dance was particularly unique there.

I've got a doctorate and I'm making less than that.

Grrr, that's just wrong. You are NTT, aren't you?

Non tenure track? Yeah.

(The bit that Burrell quoted was me, which I deleted, then decided deleting it was stupid. I'm very indecisive today.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think I've ever isolated a body part in my life! At least, not on my trunk. I mean, I can move just one arm with no problem.

I'm sorry, Hil, do you want me to edit?

It's such a problem, the two-tier pay system in academia.

No, it's fine.

Yeah. I'm looking for a new job this year, but I'm probably not going to be able to get anything tenure track, since I've been teaching 3 classes a day, 4 days a week, for the past three years, I haven't really had time to get much research done. (Yes, I could have done research during the summers. But, that didn't really happen.)
