The Professor’s three hour interview turned into a five hour interview yesterday. The poor man was absolutely beat by the time he got home. I (and he) take it as a good sign that they kept him longer rather than rushing him out of there. The mock lecture went well, with The Prof handling all…

Sorry about that, Slipperperson. It appears that URL’s work better when they have the “www.” is included in the link. [hangs head in shame] Seven hours to go. My company puts little inspirational sayings on our pay stubs. Today’s was: FIRST WE WILL BE BEST, AND THEN WE WILL BE FIRST – Grant Tinker I…

Even as I type this, The Prof is walking into his big three hour interview. This is the second interview for a job he really wants – tenure track for full professorship at a local college in their math department. He has to give a mock class to the members of the math department on…

OK, I know I’m “old”. I know I’m out of it. But there has been an influx of a new word in these parts. A quick and incomplete search of diarists’ names turns up (Dates in parentheses are first entries for some of these diaries): EmoGirlCrys emoposer brokenemofaery (Nov) EMO22 neemo80 EmoGrlKym687 (Dec) emoandrea OhSoxEmo…

Take the Which Star Wars Character are you mostly likely to get it on with? quiz, by ProtocolDroid. Hell, I really wanted Qui Gon. Except he’s dead now, isn’t he? Not fair … sexiest guy to hit Star Wars since Harrison Ford, and they kill him off after one movie. And he didn’t even get…

BarnacleBoo’s lateste entry What’s your basic motivation? is making me think. And thinking hurts. But OK, let’s see where I can go with this. Trying to answer, I instead keep hitting the wall of “I know what I want, but why do I want it?” I find myself giving objectives, not reasons. I want to…

Well, I’ve got the weekend get-away set up. I managed to get Friday off, so I can stay out late after the Star Wars movie and not suffer for it. We’ll leave some time Friday afternoon after overfeeding the cats. I found an inexpensive place to stay just outside the town I wanted to go…

of Salamanders often go astray. No, I didn’t make it to the gym last night. Not my fault. The Professor (who, it must be said, did a fair amount erranding yesterday, getting the apartment situation straightened out and picking up my freshly cleaned camera) informed me when I got home that he hadn’t gotten around…

So, Slipperman, you want to know how I feel after I exercise? In a word, exhausted. Sweaty, sticky, smelly, painful, out-of-breath exhausted. Part of it, I’m sure, is simply because I am out of shape. But even when I was doing 75 – 100 miles per week on my bike, I hated it. Whatever this…
