I am the non-posty one
Jun. 3rd, 2004 10:19 amand I'd like to say it's because I've been terribly productive. Which I guess I have been moderately productive lately. After the hack-job that the local dry cleaner & alterations people did on Matthew's suit pants (they just weren't all that well-altered and came out a little too tight in the waist, as well; just enough so that the pleats sit funny) we decided that I could do as good a job or better on his tux pants. Well, once we'd established that the back seam extended through the waistband. Never mind me rambling. The upshot is that I altered Matthew's tux pants the other day. Go, me. I am a sewing machine. Or something.
And I just finished a second draft of the outline of my dissertation proposal. Hopefully Bob will like this one better than the last. I need to have something to talk about for half an hour in Oxford. Which admittedly I could do in a completely disorganized manner already, but it'd be a good idea to have something coherent to say.
A couple of leads on the temp job front, but it's not clear whether either one knows about/would be ok with my being gone for two and a half weeks. One is fullfulltime (even one Saturday a month); I'm not sure how well that will work for me as far as getting academic stuff done. I guess if it's too much I can always quit. If I end up with that one my inclination is to work it until I go to Oxford and then quit; I'll have earned quite a bit of dough given that it occasionally requires overtime. The other one would be 20 hours a week and I think I'd find it more interesting (inasmuch as any data-entry job can be more interesting than another). Also, with 20 hours a week hopefully I could work FT in the weeks around when I'm gone and they'd be cool with that.
I love the IBM RealTime Scoreboard for the French Open. Capriati and Myskina are on serve in the first set. :^)
OK. 'Nuff rambling and back to work.
