Hey, at least I know TOMBOT is still alive out there, protectin' us and bein' cynical and everything.

YES!

wait what

You're alive, too!

(based on history, I basically read everything TOMBOT writes in a cynical way. HABIT. Actually I'm somewhat terrified of your getting raises so fast when it is almost impossible to get a job anymore)

do they not sing of our glorious meritocracy in your towns? must be a dc thaaaaaaannnng

Sometimes I think I deserve my 4.0 because all I ever do is study, and other times I think it is absurd because some of the nonsense I've had to do is literally find citations in my nursing texts for stuff like "putting non-skid slippers on a patient is a safety measure."

So what I'm saying is that RR's raise and TOMBOT's personality are all about meeeeeee, apparently.

gah, now that I have stuffed both feet down my throat, I'd better go to sleep so that I can wake up tomorrow and do it again.

good night, ITR! <3<3<3

hi sara!

lol Sara

Yesterday was very quiet here and yet I still accomplished nothing. Three-day weekend so I'm going to try to be diligent and really bust some stuff out.

Wahoo, I just cancelled my MySpace account for good. I promised myself I would yet I twitched a little. How long? Six, seven years? Actually Ed was the one who first invited me over there from Friendster. Everyone was still skeptical then. I think Tila Tequila was one of my first friends.

Don't laugh if you've already walked away. It takes me awhile to shed old skins.

I walked away but never deleted my old account. I bet it's spam central now.

I'm afraid to go back to myspace and look at mine!

(and hi tza!)

operating a business that orbits around the 15 year old social skillset requires me to go to myspace and check our friend requests far more often than i would like

what i am saying here is that if you ever find yourself in need of some fresh-faced screamo hardcore xxxtreme straight edge listening, i can totally hook you up.

uh... thanks?

susan, you inspire me. i think i will delete my ok cupid profile this weekend (i have been meaning to do this anyway).

I would delete my profile but then everyone would forget me. Oh wait.

Ned is one of the most unforgettable people I've never met!

John... oh my.

ned who?

^^^ would watch

argh, my friend just took me out for thai and I am uncomfortably stuffed.

Now my afternoon will move even slower than the morning as I just really want to lie down.

Okay I'm very dissapointed that in "Swagger Like Us" Jay-Z is saying his "knots" don't fit skinny jeans rather than "nads". My brother has ruined my day.

I don't even know how to interpret that...

As for the Thai food, YUM. I'm going to eat a piece of leftover sausage pizza. If you're uncomfortably full, maybe try to walk around if you can - helps digestion and will keep you a bit more awake. (After a big meal I always just feel sooooooo sleeeepy, especially if it's lunch for some reason).

omg, Susan, happy birthday!!!!

gracias. :) I'm using that as a reason for being so slow today although that doesn't explain every other day.

I've gotten *some* work done today but damn do I just want to go home.

oh hey, happy birthday

tbh, it's your birthday, so I think you should go as slow as you damn well please.

I've gotten some work done today (turned in my l&d clinical prep work) and now am supposed to be working on my latest Giant Paper, about my patients from last Saturday. I have zero motivation and am being massively distracted by odd aspects of it such as the fact that for some reason our prof has set up part of the template so that a whole section of our paper will be written in purple rather than black. I must be tired because the question of whether she wants to read ten pages in purple really seems pressing to me.

thank you. :)
make it black then redo it in purple before you turn it in.

I have a mtg at three then another at five. the latter is over beers with students but, still, i'd rather be at home on my couch by then.

Hey, meeting with students over beers sounds like it could wind up being okay...

Maybe our prof would be amused if the people who took care of female babies switched to pink and the people who took care of male babies used blue. I just don't know what she was thinking. Tomorrow night we are going out w/ profs after the seniors' "pinning ceremony," so I may ask her then.

i think it's ok to write a paper in purple because i really like purple.

Hey, I like purple, too!

It's just one section of the paper (empirical data) that is purple. Everything else appears (personal knowing, aesthetic knowing, ethical knowing, nursing diagnoses... a zillion other sections) to be in black. Maybe she was making some kind of statement making empirical data purple.

I'd rather consider all of this than actually write anything, btw.

call it a hunch, but i bet she is making the empirical section purple so she knows what section not to bother to read.

Sadly, that's probably the most important (also longest and most deadening to write) section.

Personally, I would skip the "aesthetic knowing" section. (i.e. "how is your nursing care a work of art?" - actual quote from one of our profs from last spring)

Did you answer "Because all of my patients end up looking like Venus de Milo"?

hahaha NO

The idea seems to be to explain how you weren't a jerk when you interacted with your patient.

(admittedly some nurses I've met could really use some extra help in that area)

Susan I just del-teted my Myspace too. Buh.

Oh you people and your proactive personalities...

happy birthday susan! i hope this is a great year for you.

you have inspired me! i am going to go delete okcupid now!

done!

Way to go, tehresa!

Hi estela!

Having said those things, I'm going to bed now. I actually made a bit of progress on my TNC (mostly because A. told me that I had to write a certain amount - apparently I am so unmotivated that I need someone to boss me around at this point). Anyway, I'm happy to have gotten something on paper. Or on the computer screen. Whatever.

i am also going to bed now.
