The Grind

Well, in spite of other people's fuckwittery, I am getting shit done, keeping my cover, protecting my assets (that phrase always sounds kinda dirty to me), and making new opportunities for myself. *yay, new opportunities! ~~~~****~~~~* - (that was me doing the butt-dance of happy - it's sort of hard to illustrate - the tilda equals a butt-waggle and the asterisk a fist-pump)

It is damn hard work, but I am doing it.

So there, douchecanoes. So there.

I have my list of Thing Which Must Be Done Before the Motherfucking Holidays, and I am steadily crossing them off. I will not be deterred from the path to success by all of this extraneous nonsense. So there.

Now, for the slightly less task-oriented part of my list - resubmission of Albatross #1. Yeah, that fucker is still hanging about. Not much left to do except the ABCs. That stands for Apply Butt to Chair (and just DO IT already!). Stole that bit of wisdom from Clio's blog, which is also what reminded me of the Moscow Rules.

So there.

Go you! *happy dance*

I am also making progress with my *stuff that needs to be done before my plane takes off* list, although sleep has been sacrificed.

And ABC... I love it! :) I seriously need to apply that to my academic life...

You have somehow managed to turn one dimensional symbols into interpretive dance. Bravo young lady.

Thanks peeps.

And because pedantry makes me feel smug (and I could use a little smug at the moment), when addressing a lady of any age (Young lady - pffft!), it's "brava", not "bravo"...and just how old are you anyway, GR?

/pedant - thanks for indulging me

On the sunnier side of 30 but close to it but now that you are scolding me you are sounding more matronly.

Ambivalent Academic said...

Matronly?

Piss off, dude.

Just FYI, "young lady" is condescending, and "matronly" is sexist and dismissive - both are rather patriarchal.

I accept none of these things from my peers.

So there. ;)

In the time honored tradition of diplomacy and shit, I will offer you a peace offering then: An elegant woman of distinction.

Ambivalent Academic said...

Why, thank you good sir.
