The days are long and the years are short

Two more accounts, and two more passwords. How annoying.

One account that is pretty much defunct, but not close-able. Sigh.

Computers are *hard*.

I went to LinkedIn again today. Sigh. I really love the way it is so easy to set up multiple profiles for yourself accidentally. I am linked to several iterations of the same people.

I feel very self-conscious when passing out my business card. But if life is about who you know, the more people that remember that they know me the better! So I will keep on passing them out.

On to the seekers

A highly skilled Jack-of-all-trades in Chicago. Office manager or personal assistant.

A PeopleSoft developer in Northern VA.

A health researcher with expertise in physical therapy in Montgomery County, MD.

A scientist and educator in Montgomery County, MD.

An Oracle developer, DBA and computer librarian in Montgomery County, MD.

Will add people from the comments.

I'm a little sad in many ways.

Several people I know are mourning the loss of an SCA fighter to H1N1.

I yelled at my daughter today. Our disagreement just kept escalating.

mrmoosie 's plane doesn't get in until 12:30 tonight. He'll be exhausted.

My studying time was spent on tasks for my PTA committee. I won't get that back.

I was afraid that I had overstepped the levels of privacy appropriate for a blog in my comments on another person's blog.

I got a rejection from the job I applied to. I know it was a long shot, but it's still a rejection.

Our oven is still broken. It's just a low-level background annoyance.

Find books about the area that we are visiting that are close to Emily's reading level. Keep on reading to her and finding new books for her to be read. Have patience, and then more patience. That's the really hard part.

I've got a lot to do today with teaching. I'm trying to cover way too much for three hours.

I'm back from teaching. Must prepare timesheet and submit.

The swine flu (H1N1) vaccine is in clinical trials. Everyone, get your seasonal flu vaccine ASAP to clear the decks for the H1N1. They ARE planning on two doses, probably with adjuvant.

Much of the math is done. The microwave is pretty clean.

Emily has done at least 4 activities for her summer homework.

I have decided that we should make a model of the totem pole in modeling clay before trying to achieve anything (except stripping down) with the actual wood.

I used the trick that starstraf 's sweetie suggested. I sawed until it was really close to coming off. mrmoosie took it down for me.

I am trying to work and list all the possible topics for my tutorial that starts tomorrow. Maybe I'll be done by midnight.

I am mostly ready for tomorrow. I have printed out a vast array of papers that are only sort of important. Apparently, my employer has both a sexual abuse policy and a sexual harassment policy. After reading too much, I know that my employer is against both.

And for some reason, my left wrist hurts. For some other reason, my spouse won't take over all the going-to-sleep parental duties tonight.

And it frustrates me.

America is not experiencing a shortage of scientists or engineers, yet we hear calls to educate more people in science and engineering. We don't have jobs for all the scientists and engineers that we do educate, and we aren't willing to retrain them in general. So the mismatch between trained scientists and engineers and the job market in their logical fields is huge, even in the boom times. In the bust times, the mismatch is just ridiculous.

First of all, I am going to work. I'm trying to increase my hours/earnings this year. I have two classes and a tutoring student.

Emily has one camp in July. It's actually 9am-5pm, which is really long for a camp or for a 1rst grade child.

There is a Bible camp in August. I have been doing a lot of preparation for this, with the certification for a volunteer to work with children.

We are going to the beach in July. i will be there for three days and T and Emily have the whole week.

We need to start going to the pool. As soon as both Emily and I are non-contagious. Also, going to a few museums and having a few playdates. i don't feel right about calling yet, since I'm not well yet.
