In other news, I've been running around like a chicken with her head cut off today. Lab class began today (thanks so much for telling me, Professor!!) and I had to miss it for an appointment with my neurologist. It's still going on now, so I can go over there and check it out and not do benchwork, or I can do benchwork and say screw it to the class. I'm not supposed to teach it today, anyway. Feh.
I'm also zzzzzippping up a HUGE passel of data to be moved over the spiffy cool Massive Data Storage Service. It's taken over 3 hours so far to zip these files, and WinZip is only about half-way done. THEN I get to actually ftp the zip file over to MDSS so I can start processing the other half of my data. *eye roll* I'm not having fun yet, in case you were wondering.
I've been writing the KSA responses for that CDC application. I really don't know if I'm on the right track. Do they really want ALL of my experiences that demonstrate my ability to communicate orally and in writing? Everything from town council meetings and that radio spot to presentations at professional meetings? Everything from writing for my college paper as a Chief Copy editor to writing grant proposals and my first manuscript? And those are just the (D)esirable KSAs. There're still the (M)andatory ones.
*freaks out*
Did I mention that if I want to graduate in August, I have to wrap up the bulk of my research in the next three months? I have to drop one aspect of my research so I can focus on the other two main aspects. Hard to let go, Hard to imagine I'm so close.

Date: January 12th, 2004 12:53 pm (UTC)I totally picture you as Kate Beckinsale in, um... that movie... Laurel something or other.... with Alessandro Nivola... just a sec.
Laurel Canyon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298408/). Yeah. You've probably never seen it (nobody did). And no offense to your SO, if you have (or you, actually -- I found her character despicable, but I don't mean this in a personality way), I'm sure the two of you are quite happy together... I, uh, lost my point. But anyway keep up the hard work with all that scientifical stuff. Goodness knows I could never do it.

Date: January 12th, 2004 03:21 pm (UTC)I'll take it as a compliment, to be on the safe side :-)
Cosmic weirdness on the Frente, man. Maybe we should have a CD burning or something to purge ourselves of our shame. Then we'll have to figure out what our OTHER most embarrassing CD is. Hrm.
