Whew!

I've been ridiculously busy these last several days. Busy to the point of distraction. Busy to the point I had to just stop and breathe this evening when I came home.

I did want to share the good news with you, though. My very firstest paper has now been officially accepted to Molecular Microbiology.

Skippity doo! Yahooey!

And I hope I don't jinx it by telling this to you, but it looks as though my cover design may also be accepted!

Not that I've been able to take any time to celebrate. . . that will have to wait for the day we receive the pre-prints. In the meantime it's all about getting figures and text into format for the publisher, trying to keep my benchwork alive, and teaching.

Hence, the stress.

I will add that the new Quizno's ad pisses me off in a way few commercials can. If you find yourself unfortunate enough to see and hear it, I'm sorry. I think my ears are bleeding.

That's a huge deal! It WILL look great on the CV, congrats BIG time! Take some time when you can to celebrate and hug yourself lots (better yet, have you-know-who do it! ;) )

Yeah, I can now say "In Press" instead of just "accepted pending review".

It'll be nice to get rid of the qualifier altogether and have an actual citation. Soon. . . . soon :-)

It's a restaurant chain. They serve subs on toasted breads. . . or something. Never been there. Now that I've been tortured by their ad, I never will.

Yaaaay! As soon as I have the issue number, I'll send everyone (or at least the academics who can access it) to the online version.

ELEVEN?!? You're a sucker for punishment, aren't you? I took 18 credit hours for both semesters of my senior year. Awful!

As long as you enjoy it, it's alright.

[bramey.livejournal.com]

Heeheee! Next time we see each other, I'll make sure we celebrate appropriately :-)

Oh and you are so right about that Quizno ad, that definitly falls in the "what the hell were they thinking" catagory. To bad thier subs are so yummmmmyy

I have three more manuscripts just itching to be written. I think this first success is going to be a great motivator!

After 3 weeks of microbiology... I honestly don't know how you do it. Congratulations!!

[bramey.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I loved my microbiology course (duh), but that doesn't mean I knew what was going on :-) It gets better, I promise - and if you want homework help, just let me know.
