The One With My Black Husband June 26, 2008

As you can see (hopefully) from my Flickr photostream, I am writing this from Dissertation Boot Camp.  And I am snuggling with my black husband.  He’s in the picture, do you see him? 

I did go to Walmart today and buy a husband so that I could sit comfortably on the bed and write.  They had them in hot pink and turquoise, but I decided black was better.  Aside from the new husband, I also found a theoretical framework on which to base my study today.  That’s a GINORMOUS step!  One I’ve been trying to accomplish since I took Comps in January.  YAY for Hagerty and Stark’s Dimensions of Program Goals, Structures, Processes Used for Comparative Analysis of Accreditation Standardszzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  I should be able to get a lot of writing done tomorrow!

Okay – off to Google the problem I’m having with Vista and Outlook… grrrrr

The One With My New Laptop June 21, 2008

Hello!  I haven’t forgotten about you reader, I just haven’t had much to post that is witty or interesting.  Yes, yes, I know what you’re thinking… “Sarah, you are ALWAYS witty and interesting!”  This is true, but always being witty and interesting is hard, y’all.  It’s a lot of pressure.  Oh the pressure…

Anyway, I will not be blogging about work – I wouldn’t want to get dooced or anything.  But I will say that I like my new job!

I am typing this entry from my brand-spankin’ new laptop!  YAY!  It’s an HP and it’s pretty!  My old Dell served me well, but he was getting old and S-L-O-W.  If I had to use it to write my dissertation, one of us would not have survived.  I’m still getting used to everything, but I’m gonna like it!  It has a built-in web cam.  I just took a picture of myself which I’ll try to put up here on the blog as soon as I figure out how.  Now I can post all kinds of videos to my YouTube site!  Be sure to check out my renovation videos if you have nothing else to do for a few minutes.

I’ll go figure out how to get the picture I took from the webcam program to Flickr..

Oh the pressure…

***Edited to update – there it is!

The One Where I’m Tired June 4, 2008

Being the boss is a whole new mindset for me.  I like it, but I’ll like it more when I know what the hell I’m doing.  I won’t be posting about work specifics, but I do get the feeling that this will be good and I will enjoy it.

Had trouble sleeping last night, so I’m headed to bed early tonight.  The combination of the new job stress and the near 100 degree heat today took it out of me.  100?  Ridiculous.

The One Where It’s Weird June 2, 2008

It feels really weird starting a new job tomorrow.  I’m excited, but nervous.  I hope I will be a good supervisor.  I hope I will like this job as much as my last one.  I will keep you updated…
