I believe in the foo moon. The last two-three days, everyone I work with, including myself, has been struck with the Stupid. Why is it that when I'm overwhelmed and short on both patience and focus, that's when all my authors start doing the most contrary and annoying things?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Our authors have to fill out a form -- just a list of ticky boxes, actually -- indicating what roles they played in the authorship (statistics, wrote paper, revised paper, obtained funding, etc.), as well as a place to let us know their conflicts of interest.
Once a week I have a paper with 8-10 authors, 3 of which just went down the list of ticky boxes and checked them all, so that's what gets listed in the manuscript. Then they review the manuscript and lose their tiny little minds that we said Dr. Jackass was responsible for statistics and YOU MUST REMOVE HIS NAME NOW. Our standard reply is "Dr. Jackass checked that box on the authorship form, which we will send back to you so that he may revise it to indicate his correct contribution to the paper." Which really means "Fuck you and your slack-ass non-list-reading co-author."

So I just have to brag on my school for a minute. I just came from a meeting with about 10 teachers & administrators in our middle school, where we talked about what we can do to better support our GLBTQ students, faculty, and families. We discussed not only curriculum and class environment but also the idea of starting a GSA (possibly to go by another name/acronym, so as to be more inclusive) for faculty and community members. It's times like this that I really love where I work.

brenda, that is awesome! Brava!
My hands are freezing. Maybe I'll take this report I'm reviewing outside...

Hey. New board.
Kate, it is times like this that I am jealous of where you work. Single gender changes the equation a bit, of course, and we do have a minimal GSA, but sadly and mainly our culture just isn't there.

That's awesome Kate!
My Tivo restarted and then was just showing static...and then suddenly worked. So now I think it's probably dying, but not dead yet. Ack.
