Oh, hey, academic folk, I need advice. I need to get one or two more letters of recommendation about my teaching. Two years ago, one of the professors in my department observed one of my classes and wrote up a summary of the visit, which was very complimentary. I don't really know her, though. Is it appropriate to email her and ask if she could write me a letter of recommendation?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yes, I think so. You would probably want to remind her that she visited your class and attach the summary, to refresh her memory if necessary.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Lee has provided the deciding vote, with shrift a close second. No moving to Saudi Arabia for me.
Somehow, I feel like I should be saying "IN YOUR FACE", but I'm not sure if it would be to shrift or Saudi Arabia.
In completely other news, ah man, my cold meds just wore off, and it's too soon to take more.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm mainlining Zinc, Echinacea, C, Mucinex, Echinacea tea, and water.
Also, ibuprophen PM, because my neck still hurts. Which has led to family drama anxiety dreams where I disown my older brother and they all turn against me, which is weird, because said brothr is the fuck up that we're all smiling and nodding at as he plans his wedding.
Almost went shopping as a way to stave off the boredom, but then remembered that shopping makes me exhuasted on a good day (but, mom! I want new clothes!).

Thanks. Now, I just wish I had at least one letter of recommendation that talked about my research, but I'm not sure that I can get that, since I've barely done any research the past few years.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I so can't picture Dana in Saudi Arabia.
I just came home from the hospital and have about an hour before I need to pick up kids. I think I'm going to spend it writing instead of cleaning. I haven't had much time to write lately. But I am feeling a wee bit guilty as the cleaning needed around here is fairly massive.

Burrell: WRITE. Take the time to take care of yourself. You won't regret it.

JetBlue "even more legroom" seats - worth it or not? For a 5-hour flight, it's tempting.

Because books.
Burrell, what Kate said.
God, work was a blur today.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's too soon for me to have to wear long sleeves and a jacket. Not that the weather listens to me...
