I keep on telling myself I’m over the hump of crazy, ridiculous, stressful events, and then something else comes through the shoot.
First it was being done with my committee meeting in August. Then surviving a wedding in a hurricane whilst throwing and planning about 10 orientation events for 6000 people. (This combination almost killed me.) Then it was making it through my conference presentation in California and subsequent (fun!) travel in late September. Then leading the first senate meeting and presenting my first departmental seminar within 15 hours of one another (with food poisoning thrown in hours before for extra fun). Now I have lab meeting and an 8-hr babysitting gig Friday.
After tomorrow, I think I might be kinda sorta done and get to just hang out and do science under everyday levels of stress for a while.
Please?
