The trajectory of my career for the next year depends on the acceptance of a research paper that I have spent the last 1.5 years of my life on. It got hammered in initial review and we're cutting the deadline razor-thin-close with revisions & the second draft (waiting for statistics work from another author). This ******* paper has encompassed my entire life the past 4 months; it's in the back of my mind at all hours, I don't sleep very well, and subsequently I'm short-tempered all the time with friends and family. My wife is due with our little girl in two weeks, and while I'm so excited to meet her, this constant black cloud has dampened what should be a joyous occasion.


woof, that sounds rough.

What's the subject matter?

For Christmas, I bought my wife a pair of expensive Yoga pants she really wanted. She tried them on, loved them, and she looked REALLY good in them. I confess, I was afraid She was going to be one of those 36 year olds dressing like a 26 year old to make herself feel younger again. I'm not sure what is going on, but I think I am sending myself into a midlife crisis, because it is I who now feels younger than I am.

That's the gift that keeps on givin', Clark.

Prognostic biomarkers in dogs with sepsis. Riveting stuff I know.

I was in the An Sci dept so I only had to Google a third of the words :p But now that I know what the first two mean, I get what you are looking at. Hope everything comes together in time!

So your saying theres a chance! lol

Anything's possible but the competition is fierce. A 55 year old married old lady who has given birth many times and raids her kids stockings for miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups at 2:00 a.m., that brings all the boys to the yard, lol.

I still laugh at the thought of CG and DH opening up a gift from an adult store given to them by the inlaws and CG shaking it at them and saying they wanted to pick their own out.
