'Heart Of Gold'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The principal called it: I really am more of an academic than a dean. I think they may offer it to me anyway, but I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Don't let them psych you out of it Kristin. Even if you try it for a year and decide 'no, not me.' it's still part of your experience, which is a plus for any academic.
Just me and two of my pennies.
I think it was all the talk of nights and weekends and no free periods in a day that is making me question whether or not I want to do this. We'll see. I should probably make an appointment to talk to the principal about the possibility of doing some kind of other mentorship/curricular position.
I'm overhtinking this.

I'm overhtinking this. My fever is spiking, ai think.
While my doc does remind me that losing weight is a good thing, he has four chins himself and is wise enough to avoid hypocrisy. The fear of doctors calling me Unclean!(tm) is purely my own neurosis.
Disclaimer: Dr. Olsen is cool and is not to blame for his patients' mental issues.
I love that movie sox! (Barry Levinson likes kosher carrots) Lots of Jewish hotties in it, too. Doctors are generally dumb with me, too. Like being surprised I'm still alive, having mixed up their Childhood Disabling Conditions and shit. (Ha...my retrospective? Childhood Disabling Conditions and Shit: A Life in letters)
Iris is stubborn enough to cry for 5 hours straight. She hunger-struck at her preschool when they wouldn't let her drink juice, only water. Not Joking.
Mal's school offers milk or water. They were out of milk one day. Mal accepted the cup of water, stared at the teacher, and upended it on the floor.
The teacher who told me this later thought it was the most adorable thing she'd ever seen...but I died from embarrassment.
Also, yeah, Mal will cry until he passes out, despite years of sleep training. When he was wee, swaddling worked (and in fact was the only thing that would keep him from shredding his own face) but took two of us to achieve.
In other news, I was summoned to a management meeting today - where they gave me an award. Half of me is like, "Wow, I fooled them all!!!" The other half thinks this was to get out of giving me a promotion.
Jessica, my bro and SIL just did that with my nephew about a month ago. It's worked amazingly well for them. I hope it goes well for you.
Kristin, I hope that the decision is made really clear for you.
Raq, that's very cool! Congratulations!
Congrats Raq.
KT, glad it went well. Wait until they offer and see what it all entails before making a final decision.
"I've Got Avogadro's Number"Ha! Like two weeks ago or so, the number 6.02x10e23 popped back into memory. I knew it was chemistry. I remember using it all the time in that class (10th grade, so we are talking 1986 or so..omg like 22 years ago?? Is that right? Fuck I'm old). But I don't remember how to use it any more. Although I learned it as a "Mole" I don't recal Avogadro or anything. But, hell, it was 2 decades ago.
ION, I voted! how come we don't get stickers for that here?

It's the number of atoms/molecules in a mole.
The principal made a comment a little bit ago that leads me to believe that they want me to be the co-director of the new faculty program...which is no money, but much more my style. I have a feeling someone else is going to get the dean position, but if something else is in the pipeline for me, I'm okay with that.
Ick. Sweats and chills at work are no fun. Ten more minutes and I'm leaving.
