mistress of science: Pride

http://mistressofscience.blogspot.com/2010/04/pride.html

Life after graduate school, pursuing science, and experiments in happiness. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. I haven't felt this in a while, pride at the end of the day. I am a simple public servant and what I do matters. *sigh* It's a good thing. Good for you Mel. Im really glad its working out. Im very proud of you. April 29, 2010 at 9:42 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Graduate school was a rewarding and life changing experience. What do I do now? An excess of reason is in itself a form of madness".

Sojourn North: June 2008

http://sojournnorth.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

A woman, a man and life north of the Arctic circle. Monday, June 30, 2008. Summer Ruminations -A word from ManNorth. I have often said that the North is a fine place to live but I wouldn’t want to work there, for when one works the mind is focused on work and little else. Seldom do we ever take time to step back from our personal grindstone and, according to Keats, “. Look into the fair and open face of Heaven. Some pleasant lair of wavy grass. 169; ManNorth, Summer, 2000. Yes, yes, we're alright! I've m...

Sojourn North: September 2008

http://sojournnorth.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

A woman, a man and life north of the Arctic circle. Sunday, September 28, 2008. Yep, it REALLY is already. We now interrupt this irregularly scheduled appearance of vacation photos to bring you. A photo of our balcony this morning. Just in case you didn't really believe me when I said that our fall is done and we've begun winter, I've now given you proof in all its glorious fluffy cold whiteness in a 2 dimensional electronic voyeuristic sort of way. So, um, there! Now that the mercury has dropped below z...

Sojourn North: Garden denizens

http://sojournnorth.blogspot.com/2008/07/garden-denizens.html

A woman, a man and life north of the Arctic circle. Saturday, July 19, 2008. Using willow twigs as plant stakes is fine, but what they are really great for is for making things. Things like baskets or, in the case of my garden, birds! What do you think? Here is bird #1(for which I was happy that it simply looked bird-like):. And bird #2 (I love her feet! And bird #3 (He's a bit more difficult to spot when visitors try to find all four birds.):. Is that your nasturtium in the first photo? We're two sourdo...

Sojourn North: Welcome to our garden!

http://sojournnorth.blogspot.com/2008/07/welcome-to-our-garden.html

A woman, a man and life north of the Arctic circle. Thursday, July 17, 2008. Welcome to our garden! We began working our plot at the end of May and had planted our seeds and seedlings that we had started indoors (in small flats and empty buttermilk. By the beginning of June. Working the plot initially meant breaking up the somewhat frozen soil, mixing in lots of compost and watering, watering and watering again. Here's what our plot looked like then:. And from another angle:. Here are our greens close up:.

Fucked. | On the outside looking in.

https://ontheoutsidelookingin.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/fucked

On the outside looking in. Observations and stories from a lone Scot. December 12, 2007. On Sunday, I was hungover. Hungover means one thing: The hangover horn. I got up late, probably around noon. I turned on the computer. Straight for the porn. A nice way to start my day. I start browsing. I start stroking myself. Very often I’m not in it for the quick orgasm. I appreciate the build-up. An hour passes. Not much longer. I’ll finish the job soon. Another hour passes, and I’m still going. And at this poin...

Last refuge of a scoundrel | Not sheepish, but individ-ewe-al

https://individeweal.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/last-refuge-of-a-scoundrel

Not sheepish, but individ-ewe-al. Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes. Last refuge of a scoundrel. May 2, 2011. It’s a bank holiday which looks set to break with tradition and provide some actual sun. It’s. My religious and personal views forbid me to rejoice in another person’s death. Of protesters who “might” breach the peace. Who am I to spoil the nation&#8217...Of me to valu...

mistress of science: So, now that I've Mastered science, what's next?

http://mistressofscience.blogspot.com/2009/12/so-now-that-ive-mastered-science-whats.html

Life after graduate school, pursuing science, and experiments in happiness. Thursday, December 3, 2009. So, now that I've Mastered science, what's next? Boy that's a question you never stop getting asked, is it? What do you want to be when you grow up? How do you evaluate a job offer? I mean there's the obvious issues; salary, benefits, opportunity for advancement, yadda yadda. But how do you determine if you'll enjoy the work environment? If you have some.). In the past I've read that the main reason fo...

mistress of science: Breakdown, meltdown, cracking up...

http://mistressofscience.blogspot.com/2008/03/breakdown-meltdown-cracking-up.html

Life after graduate school, pursuing science, and experiments in happiness. Sunday, March 30, 2008. Breakdown, meltdown, cracking up. I had my first real stress induced breakdown of my graduate career this afternoon.  I made it through the first two terms without being reduced to a puddle of tears, but no more.  Yes, it is completely girlie to cry when you are stressed, but I am a girl - so bite me! Totally unbelievable.  . It sounds absurd, I know, but I can't help but feel there is a little truth in it.
