Crippled up on my left side.

Tripped over the dog, and slid down the stairs on my left collar bone and upper arm.  Made the 180 at the landing, kept going.  Nothing is busted, but my neck is stiff and my right arm has limited mobility (well, it has all the mobility, but with a hint of agony added in if I lift my elbow away from my ribs).

But don't worry; the fucking dog is fine.  He surfed me down the stairs, then stepped on my head getting off my back, then looked at me like I was weird, all laying on the floor in a heap like that.

Sweet merciful fuck!  :horrormirth:

Hope you heal up fast, Roger.

Cain, that sounds both interesting and incredibly dull, at the same time.

Been invited to go to Jordan and the West Bank to meet Syrian refugees and listen to Israeli and Palestinian activitists talk past each other on the one-state/two-state solution.



You should do that.  Cain-Style.

I think I have to quit this job.

Doing my degree is almost impossible right now, let alone doing my dissertation next year.

Fuck it, I'll work in a supermarket part time, if I have to.  If I can find one hiring.

I can't even imagine trying to work on a graduate degree while working full-time. I'm having a hard enough time with my undergrad and working part-time.

It might work with a normal full time job.  I'm on call 17 hours a day at the moment, with almost all my free time clustered at the end of a two week period.  So I spent all this weekend, for example, studying, because I cannot do it during the week time.  Only, by the end of that two week period, I'm so exhausted I feel like sleeping all day.

Hell, I'm exhausted now, and I've only just come back on.  If I was doing a full two week period, instead of having half-term from Saturday, I wouldn't be able to face it.

A nice little 25 hour a week job would suit me just fine.  I'd even move back in with my parents, if necessary.

Some schools here, at least the grad programs I've looked at (URI, UConn) do not allow full time graduate students to hold jobs unless they have permission from the school. Assistantships don't count.

My accountant is working full-time while also working on his grad degree part-time, but it's a special program designed for that specific arrangement.

I'm part-time, it's only the job that is full time.

For a full time grad course, I'd be surprised if anyone could hold down a job in addition.

I haven't had a dry spell, writing-wise, like this in ages.

I wish to write, but there's nothing there.

Yeah, well, I just had this image of a yiff-tard sitting at home saying "How can I be MORE otherkin than that bastard Jim?  I can't afford a full suit like he has, and my standing among my peers has been significantly lowered.  My mating prospects are at stake, here.  WAIT!  I HAVE IT!"

And then he shits on the carpet.
