It's funny how the position for boot-licking is so close to the one used for curb-stomping.

I don't know WTF is wrong with her, but I know I want to stay as far away as possible because she strikes me as the type who files complaints when things don't go her way. She is very, very, very whiny, and everything that happens is always someone else's fault.

Last week, it was her professor's fault she didn't make an appointment to take her exam in the testing center earlier in the term before all the slots filled up.

I can see where this trainwreck is heading, and as the lab liaison I fully anticipate that she will try to make it my fault.

So, at the new job. Nights. Horrible stuff.

I called the lady that my boss unjustly fired prior to the layoffs and asked her if she was still looking for work. I told her what the work was, and she laughed.

Then I told her what the pay was, and she stopped laughing.

So now she's employed again after 8 weeks of being out of work, making $10K more than she used to make, and I have a reliable employee who isn't afraid of anything at all.

which can be important when you're doing this kind of work in the dead of night.

I feel embarrassed that I lack the imagination to even speculate what this line of work is.

Pffft.  Grave robbers would throw us out of the house party for making them feel sick.

Also, this is legal and very, very necessary.  It's just horrible.

So I've decided to stop fucking around online and actually write a PhD thesis proposal.  So far, so good.

From what I can see, 2000 words is the standard.  Given I came up with my latest, most coherent idea, at about 1700, and it's now 1930, and I have 500 words down, I feel like I'm onto something.  If I can finish this tonight, I can spend my next 3 work nights sending off applications.

I should be working on my prospectus as well, but instead I get to go talk to my father, who has Alzheimers and is now denying having had a stroke. He wants to move into our basement, which is a bad idea for a plethora of reasons including that we are still grieving the loss of my son, the basement is not currently habitable, we have only one bathroom, we have no storage space, and I don't have time to deal with any of this given that I am also trying to raise the girls and get through grad school.

Urgh, Alzheimers is tough, no matter what.  On top of everything else...

It gets better. So much better.

My dad never sold or otherwise disposed of his massive firearm collection after his conviction for voter fraud. His property in Washington was broken into, and in the process of taking care of the situation my brother and the sheriff's department found that he had moved everything up there.

So now, there may be charges brought against him for illegal possession of 500+ guns.

EFO opened commissions after taking a month off and got 5 in the first day. I think this officially makes her a working artist. I'm so proud!
