Complete and utter bullshit, indeed.
I took a nap today. At 4:30 PM. It makes me so delightfully happy to nap.
It's my gift to myself because now I need to buckle down and grade like a crazy person. And tomorrow, I get my permanent crown on.
I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I wish they made me feel like royalty, damn it. I still have to get one to finish the cyborg implant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And tomorrow, I get my permanent crown on.
I get mine next week! Apparently the insurance company took my word for it that it's been 10 years. I should go floss.

ION, DH's work has tomorrow off, whether or not the government shutdown goes through, and then he has 4 weeks of vaca accrued if it does
Damn, that's a lot of vacation! But I'm sure he wants to spend it on more fun things than a government shutdown.
The instructor part is actually a bit less likely. The typical science career path goes Work in a lab as a grad student > Work in a lab for several more years after finishing degree > Get a tenure-track job where you get to run your own lab OR leave academia to work in industry.
Unless he decided to work in like, community college. Our own DXMachina has been doing that these days...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Unless he decided to work in like, community college. Our own DXMachina has been doing that these days...
Yeah, very true -- some of the best paths for people who want to teach instead of research include CCs and small colleges. (And I'd say that applies to all fields, not just hard science.) Guilty of oversimplifying and research-uni blindness, but totally NOT feeling guilty about thinking it can all be a huge grind!
Also, now I miss DX!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I do not know how some of you do it. 11.5 hours of work today. and way too much of that was thinky work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's way too much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Football has finished, so I should go to bed, but now I'm kind of on government shutdown watch.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My next 2 weeks are likely to be 12-14 hour days, but the last half of October should be pretty easy.

Shutdown.
Anyone got a tent we can live in when we get foreclosed and evicted? Maybe some dog food?
FUCKERS.
