I’ve been very busy recently, but apparently not in the most constructive way.
\n*I’ve been busy figuring out Twitter<\/a>.*
\nSo far the only advantage I can see over Facebook is that I can access it at work without having to disable the WiFi on my phone (this may actually be a disadvantage). The drawbacks are that photos, videos, and link previews aren’t visible from the home page, and hovering over those compressed URLs doesn’t give you any indication of where you’re being directed to before you click through.
\nI’ve been busy in the garden.<\/strong>
\nI’m finally learning my lesson from the past two summers and am keeping on top of the weeding. A few minutes each day, after work, is better than spending whole weekends slashing and burning. I’ve also planted veggies, herbs, shrubs, and ground cover plants that will hopefully help keep the weeds at bay.
\nI’ve been busy planning parties.<\/strong>
\nTwo baby showers (not mine) and a citizenship party (mine, jointly with a friend who’s two weeks behind me in the long, long process).
\nI’ve been very<\/em> busy at work.<\/strong>
\nWhy do deadlines always cluster? I’ve been especially busy trying to compress three PIs’ CVs into the strict page limits imposed by one funding agency.
\nI’ve not<\/em> been busy building my own academic CV.<\/strong>
\nThe funding agency allows the PI to add a grant wrangler to the application. While the guidelines don’t say that I need to upload my own CV, it was still showing up as a big ugly red “missing” in the document interface. And I couldn’t let that stand. So I transferred all my personal details, qualifications, employment history, and publications into the required format.
\nIt came to one page.
\nOne page!
\nONE!!!<\/em><\/strong>
\nLuckily, my future career prospects won’t be harmed if I don’t add more publications to my sad little list. And a little humble pie is a good thing every once in a while, right?
\nI shall serve it at one of the parties, with home-grown tomatoes. And then tweet about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
