It might make sense to skip applications unless it is for a position that excites you. That in itself may help with the motivation.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

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.

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.

I hope you find your kitty Erin I now how stressful it is to have a lost pet.
So the dentist had a cancellation and I went in. There's no abcess (which Ic ould tell) the swelling is not as bad as it was last night - but the dentist thinks there's infection. He's not sure, but he prescribed antibiotics and said by tomorrow the pains hould be better. He stressed I'll probaby be in pain tonight, I can deal with that. I asked about pain meds, meaning over the counter stuff and which one was better and he offered to write a scrip for something stronger but I declined. It would probably relieve the pain better but I'd rather stay away from prescription pain meds unless they are a necessity.

Strix, tons of kitty~ma. I hope you find her soon.
askye, I'm glad the dentist was able to fit you in today. Feel better.
I've been battling both a uti and a chest cold for a couple weeks now and have been mostly spoonless, but good thoughts and ~ma to all who need them who I may have missed.
