Ye Olde Blogge

It sucks that you have to stay until 5. Around 3:30, I ran out of work. Not that there wasn’t anything to do, but nothing sort of concrete and manageable within the 1.5 hours I had left presented itself. And I was tired. If I were a lawyer or consultant or something, I might have…

They aren’t happening. Laundry is piling up. There’s no food in the fridge. Life is getting messy. I wish I had more time. I’m ignoring all that stuff to spend time doing other stuff. I did get a lot of paperwork done Monday, but last night I decided to socialize when I had planned to…

That list from yesterday, not much done on it yet. But these are week-long goals. I’m hoping to have my professional blog up and running today. Not that I can’t post work stuff here, but I have ways of getting my information out to the people from that blog. And I think most of my…

How many hoops must one jump through just…

And by class, I don’t mean classroom. I mean cultural/financial class.

Michelle, a colleague of mine, has a great post on the hidden women of science. It’s definitely worth a read. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

I’m still processing a lot of information, so I haven’t worked out exactly what my thoughts are, but wanted to get them down.
