things that are making you happy - Page 1664

I'm having the busiest year I've had since I came to my current job. I haven't had a single day this semester where I could take a few hours off and just relax. I'm not batting 1.000 in terms of getting things done at the quality I'd like or in terms of the timetable I'd like. But 1.000 would take a miracle. I'm pretty proud of myself for managing all the work as well as I have.

Thanks. You're actually one of the people I think of when I feel too worn out to do more work and need to keep myself going--Thomas too--because you guys always seem not only to be working very hard, but working very hard on very important things.

I've accepted a new administrative position (which I don't actually get paid any more for!), and that requires very intense work for a couple months in the fall. In addition, I've just got a very active conference schedule this fall. So to answer your question, yes, I think this should start to slow down for me maybe in November.

Zicam actually works!

i like an old school succhah. i dont know that i have ever been in rockin succah in the sense of decked out with bling. my parents have a rockin succah in that it is nicely decorated, good size, and there is always lots of singing and general good cheer. that is the rocking-est type of succah for me.

lolz, do they use red and green lights, or just the regular color lights on a string that you see adorning trees in the winter? bummer you missed out this year.

speaking of all this, i just got home from a fantastic big family lunch at my parents succah, preceded by dancing in the kitchen. most excellent. and the stitch wife is preparing a briket for this evening.

Congrats!!!

Breakfast.

I would shank a motherfucker for a good cinnamon roll right now. God damn Messicans can't bake for shit.

Thanks, all!

I'm strongly leaning to doing it. In fact, if the job were local, there'd be no question. The issue is that the interview is in a city that's about a half day drive, which means I'd have to take a day off of work to go to the interview. If this were a "I'm absolutely taking it if I get it" job, I'd go, period. However, given I'm not 100% on the job, I'm waffling on taking a day off and driving down for the interview.

Either way, I appreciate the support from all of you - one of these days I'm going to find the right move, even if this isn't it.





Congrats!

Do it! Like others have said, if you don't, you'll most certainly regret it at some point. Good luck!

I love simple Colombian breakfasts. Pan de Bono and hot chocolate. it's awesome when you see a Colombian flag on a food place in the city in the morning. they always have pan de bono.

I think I'm getting this job that's been in the works since the Cretaceous period. Received some promising news today and an offer should be made this week. Fingers are crossed.

Good luck, Conne.
 

Maybe you shouldn't mention things like this on the forum before they come to fruition. It seems like you've jinxed yourself more than once. Irregardless, I hope it comes through this time.
