dchenes: (katana)
I'm done with this week and it isn't even Tuesday afternoon yet. I shouldn't have started watching that football game last night, because it was a mess and I went to bed feeling depressed about it. And then this morning I woke up and went off to work and discovered that today is the second of three straight days of lunch meetings. The fact that there's going to be lunch doesn't mean I want to go to lunch meetings, though. Mostly it means I am so sick of scheduling meetings, I could scream. (Although tomorrow's wasn't mine to schedule, which is nice because it got rescheduled at least twice before it ended up tomorrow.) I'm just tired of dealing with people's lack of availability.

Add the above to the apparent conspiracy to make everything happen on October 8 (faculty development day, first day of CNA course including lunch meeting, caries evaluation exercise including evaluation forms and surveys, furnace replacement, chorus rehearsal, and probably three or four other things I've suppressed), and I want to hide in the back of the spelunking closet until November.

September 30 is St. Jerome's Day. St. Jerome is the patron saint of translators, and it always makes me a little sad to get to St. Jerome's Day and not be doing any translating, again. Granted, I get paid pretty well for what I am doing, and I get some satisfaction out of it, but I got more satisfaction out of translating than I had ever gotten out of anything else in my educational or professional lives.

You wouldn't think it would be so hard to find boxes to keep model skulls in, but for some reason Google thinks that "skull storage" means "it has skulls on it". Which is not what I meant. Oddly enough, when I tried "model storage", I got a lot of results for boxlike things to keep dental casts in. Close, but no cigar. The search continues.
