Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Thrive to spite them

At this point I'm ready for the root canal. My jaw is killing me and talying or smiling or things like that make it worse. Plus mumy period started and the cramps are bad. Advil isn't helping any of the pain. Well it helps some of it but not enough.

I finally gave in and asked to go home after I made some mistakes with one customer and had to ask the next the same question multiple times because I coupdated concentrate. I feel like a terrible employee but I wasn't doing much good there either.

I graded a stack of quizzes, did a bunch of work for some online classes, and did a few job applications. Having trouble getting up the motivation for the job apps -- just kind of at a point where it seems pointless.

Our wings are not tired.

It might make sense to skip applications unless it is for a position that excites you. That in itself may help with the motivation.

Just dropped one of the online classes -- it was interesting, but I really don't have time for it. I'll work on some more applications tomorrow. Right now, I'm kind of disillusioned with academia in general, so sending in more applications for teaching jobs that'll pay less than $50,000 is just not appealing.

I'm taking some online courses in data analytics. It's something that I know I can do, if I just learn it, and there are lots of jobs in it. I do love teaching, but I'm hating the university system more and more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I'm considering that.

I'm hating the university system more and more.

Yeah, more and more people are thinking that. Stupid government cutbacks. This county sucks.

(Sorry, I just had a vodka and limeade drink. With extra vodka.)

Vodka sounds nice.

I'm sick of teaching to the test. Multiple choice tests are a terrible way to teach calculus. Multiple choice tests written by committee are even worse.

Thrive to spite them

I can't sleep. I'm in pain, not so much from the tooth but from my jaw/cheek. I think my cheek is swollen but I can't really tell. My face feels hotter on that side, but I'm not running a fever.

And if I look on google all this points to - get to the doctor right now! But I can't. I'm not even sure things are that bad, the dentist said there wasn't infection but now I'm being to doubt the doctor and I'm a little freaked out about falling asleep. Not that I think I can sleep.

The best I can do, I think, is call the dentist in the morning and let them know what is going on.
