I wasn’t sure that I’d see this in my lifetime. America has elected a black president. While I didn’t vote for Obama because I disagree fundamentally with many of his positions on everything from the Supreme Court to tax cuts, I still can appreciate the fact this is a historic time.

Sometimes you just have to relax
Posted by: J on: November 2, 2008
This turned out to be one of those weekends that was all about sleeping in, enjoying a few treats, and generally hanging out together. Life gets so busy around here at times that we don’t often get time like this. It was nice to wake up each morning and say “What do you [...]
Aha! moment
Posted by: J on: October 18, 2008
I figured out what might be making me feel like crud this week. The hygienist gave me all sorts of dos and don’ts when I was at the dentist. One of the don’t things was drinking pop. So, I’ve cut it out. Cold turkey.
I’m probably going through caffeine and sugar withdrawal. [...]
Always look on the bright side

*warning=video does contain bad words (but it’s really funny!)
I’ll won’t go all sloppy on you. At least not entirely. But I will share some positives that I’m going to focus on instead all the junk I unloaded earlier.
*I do get to sit on a panel talking with future [...]
Dark depression
Posted by: J on: October 17, 2008
You could probably guess from my previous post that I’m a wee bit depressed right now. Have to love the chemical imbalance roller coaster! It’s hard to function when I hit a low like this.
What I’d really like to do is crawl back into bed and sleep until this passes.
What I [...]
Stress mess
Posted by: J on: October 16, 2008
Wow. Do you ever have one of those moments when everything just hits you all at once. I’m having one of those right now. It sucks.
First, our dog Maddie had a weird looking thing growing on her back leg. It got even weirder looking. We joked that she was going [...]
Open Access Day
Posted by: J on: October 14, 2008
Today is Open Access Day. I will attempt to answer the questions posed at that this blog, A Blog Around the Clock:
* Why does Open Access matter to you?
* How did you first become aware of it?
* Why should scientific and medical research be an open-access resource for the world?
* What do you do [...]

I’m writing this in response to a request on FriendFeed to talk about what DH’s upcoming deployment means to me.
This is the first deployment for him (and hopefully the last since he will retire when he returns.) We are still a over a year away from the actual deployment, which means a year to [...]
Motivational
Posted by: J on: October 2, 2008
Library Journal has an interesting article about what keeps Movers and Shakers motivated and happy. Somewhere else (I can’t remember where) Meredith points out that this is really relevant for all staff, not just the M&S’s.
Very true. In my experience in various jobs, there are at least a couple of people who tend [...]
Not much to say

I haven’t been all that inspired to write much lately. Things are fine. Busy, but that’s a good thing. But busy doesn’t always equal interesting.
I did get a call about a potential job. Mostly they just wanted to let me know they were interested and to check to see if I [...]
