Amusing. Now I know the real key to success: eating Moose Burgers and gutting salmon.

After reading last night’s blog entry, I realized that it made no sense. I did have a bad day. Blah. The Coach was away, so I went to the store to get all the tasty things he doesn’t eat: fancy cheese, pistachios, olive tampanade and crusty bread, and a bottle of wine.
I did trip over [...]

Oh goodie! I just got the last of my summer checks and it’s a biggie. Enough to fix the house (hopefully — we are still waiting for our quote from ye ol’ contractor) and to pay for the trip to Peru, with a little left over for other items. Earlier this summer, I expressed the [...]
Drinking Game.

I propose a new drinking game, or rather an adaptation of the old Smurf drinking game we used to play when I was an undergraduate:
Step 1: Pick your poison — beer, gin, Jack.
Step 2: Tivo an Obama Speech.
Step 3: Gather your friends. Provide ample number of puke buckets.
Step 4: Make sure to have 911 on [...]
Another Day, Another Crying Girl

What is up with these people? Today, I made another girl cry — this one because I told her that she could not be admitted to our Graduate program until her GRE scores arrived. Is it my fault that she waited until last week to take the darned exam? Uh no. Suck it up and [...]
So fucked.

Can someone please explain to me how on earth I got stuck doing the Program Review for my department? Me, the person who is going up for tenure this year? Me, the person who does not have the *institutional memory* for the department? Oh that’s right. I work with a bunch of lazy ass fucks.
Okay, [...]
Settling in, settling down

It’s taking me a good bit of time to settle into my office this morning. Even though summer classes are *finally* over and my grades are mostly done, I’m still buried under a big ass pile of administrative crap. I’m determined to use my big shovel and get a chunk done today, but really, here [...]
This is change?

Oh yes. The “Change Candidate” just had to go and put an old white guy on the tix. Now who the hell am I going to vote for in November?
Ocular Diva

Just wait until you see my new “protective” eye gear. Yes, my ulcer is finally healed up, so I went ahead and ordered new sunglasses. They’re huge, diva glasses. Honestly, they make me want to buy a chihuahua to carry around in my purse. LOL! Hey, at least they will keep all bugs, hair, debris [...]
