working on a new chapter
I have over two hundred pictures, so once I'm done sorting them out, I will be dividing them in half. It's not exactly going to be a Part 1 and Part 2, just 250 pictures is a lot.
What can you do, huh? I'm baking a pie. I figure that might help me, anyhow. And I've been playing. And . . .
well, here is Elaine.

And I understand about the work thing. I may or may not be getting a position that may or may not be getting a pay cut on top of already having three month's furlough at UCSD. However, I'm hoping that I'll get it, because it's still better than the other offer I have at the moment and a job is better than nothing. I hope things work out for you. And as for the syllabus, you're going to be the one that cares the most about that so just make the decision you can live with.

I can't imagine anyone is happy about what's going on with the colleges and universities in California right now. It must really, really suck to know that this wasn't anything you and your colleagues did, or any of the students, but you're the ones paying the prices. And unfortunately, in your field, there's no "industry" option like there is for me. I've had some interviews at UCSD, and at least in the hard sciences, the funding comes completely from outside grants, so they're not concerned about funding cuts and the like. The lab heads might have teaching furloughs, but most of their money comes from NIH grants so they're not hit as hard as a lot of the professors are.

And wow, that is a lot of departments to cram into one department. Have fun with that.

Elaine is a cutie though, and yay for getting a girl.

My first thought on the children was that maybe Dinadan's taking so long to get you a girl was his way of getting more children. I mean, aside from the fact that it's random. :p
