Off to bed before I forget where it is :rofl:

:loveya:

And sweet dreams! :hug:

Whatsa matter that you're so stressed?

:loveya:

Well, part of it is good news -- I have a job interview next week for a dream job! It's a tenure-track faculty position, so it's 2 days of interviews, and on the second day I have to give a seminar on my research. So I just feel like I have 80000000 things to do to prepare for that -- learn what all the faculty do, prep for weird interview questions, write my talk and practice it a zillion times, get the syllabus together for the course I'd be teaching, etc etc. And the timing of it is just crazy, because I'm supposed to have a draft of my dissertation in to my committee by 3/20! The dissertation is in good shape, but I won't really have time to work on it until after the interview!

Sorry for the long-winded reply... whew! :crazy:

:hug:

I thought that was a rather concise reply.

I know it seems like you have a lot of balls in the air but hang in there!

Just remember that you are awesome! You can do anything you put you mind to. And you are going to wow them!

You are just the best. :loveya:

I'll let you know how it goes... my talk and syllabus are almost done, I'm sure I'll be ok! Just nervous and a little overwhelmed right now. Your post made me feel better though. :hug:

'twern't nuthin, missy.

Glad to help and I've only stated the obvious truth of the matter.

and then got an email from my husband (who is across the room on HIS laptop) that said "I love you! Don't be so pretty. I'm trying to work." :blush:

So all around, I'm feeling much better now! :D

See it all works out.

I'm off to bed. Get some sleep, too. That will be key to facing everything calmly.

I think I will do the same. Thanks for your vote of confidence. :)

:hug:

I can give you that...

:rofl: ok, mom....

sounds like you've got a lot on your plate :hug:

All engines firing until 3/21, then I'm taking a much-needed vacation! :D

:hug:

We'll have a bonfire, good food and beer. :)

:hug:

Something to daydream about over the next few weeks... :)

:hug:

:hug: :hug:

:hug: :hug: Hope you feel better soon. I've been stressed for so long, it's like normal to me. Hope you don't get that way.

btw, I *love* sriracha sauce! Need to get some next time I'm near an asian-foods grocery (our local area is too white-bread to carry anything so exotic).

I am generally pretty laid back -- just too much going on right now!!!

I figured a hot-sauce fan would already be aware of the wonderfulness of Sriracha, but had to mention it just in case! :D
