My piece will hopefully be complete by early next week.  I have, uh, commitments and stuff.

Not really in a joking mood now, sorry.  People are purposefully wasting my time while I am trying to complete a research proposal, and since very few of these positions are ever available, I can see it as nothing more than a calculated attempt to make sure I don't get a job.  Normally I'd beat such people senseless, but since I am reliant on them for food and shelter, this isn't currently an option.

Good luck on your proposal, Cain.
Everything I wish for myself, I wish for you also.

Good luck, Cain, I feel your pain.

Okay, so the next few days are going to be a bit crazy for me professionally.  I'm moving into a new office and helping to move out of the old office over the next few days.  I am tentatively shooting for having this puppy published by the end of January.  So, I'd say if you've been wanting to submit something, and haven't yet, to try to get it wrapped up by the end of the 2nd week of January.  You can PM it if you want or just lay it down here.  I'll find it either way. 

I'll be able to start writing mine just after New Years, I have all kinds of shit going on at the moment with family and whatever...

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

Khara and I need help from the audience.

Give us some questions to answer.  Any questions.  Similar to "My _________ just __________.  Ask me anything!"

OK, I'll try and complete this tonight, since the people who were previously bothering me are absent, and the deadline for my research proposal has mercifully been put back a month.

bds

Seeing as Cain gave an update, I feel obliged to as well.

I will finish (Read: Start) writing mine either tonight or tomorrow night.
Will be done by the end of the week.
I shall PM it, and then, if you feel it needs editing, you can open it up to the guys in here, whatever suits you best... :)

AFK

Okay.  Today was the first day of the office move so this week is pretty much shot.  So I'd say everyone has two weeks to finish up.  If you can get stuff to me by the end of next Friday that would be cool.  If you experience delays just let me know.  I'm not much of a whip cracker or anything and can be a little loosey goosey with deadlines myself, but just give me a shout if you're a little behind.

anyway disregard this, i'm eating hot curry.
