Monday

You know you work for a geeky place when you overhear 3 separate conversations gushing about Cosmos on your way to get your first Diet Coke of the morning.  (For the record, I watched it live last night and then again this morning alongside BabyBoy while getting ready for the day.)
 
In other news, I could swear I posted at some point in March, but apparently I’m composing and posting in my dreams. So, to update: nothing terribly exciting is going on. Work, kids’ schools, life… you know. D is in the middle of baseball season so he’s barely around. The weather has maybe stopped with the cold stuff? The daffodils are blooming, at least. 26 days and counting until spring break. I managed to post a chapter so I only have 3 more to go and I’ll actually be finished with the Agents of SHIELD/MCU/Hawkeye Clint/Coulson. Crossing my fingers that I can keep this mad canon meld going long enough to get to a happy ending, because my brain is screaming for it now.
 
How are you all?

Good luck finishing your story! I can't wait to read it!

I have been writing it since November; I'm so looking forward to being done with it! (And, okay, I've already cracked 30K words, so there's at least a reason why it's taking me so long, but I feel like I haven't thought of anything else for forever.)

Since November is definitely dedication! And yeah, it can be hard to have such a sharp focus for so long.

Oh, you know. Job-hunting. Writing! Realizing how easily I could love a life of leisure if only it wouldn't end up badly.

I have actually be-stirred myself enough on Twitter recently to see that you're writing, which is excellent news! I hope the job hunt goes well--it's such an exercise in trying not to stroke out (for me, I mean.)

It is an exercise in terror and panic, for sure. Argh. I'm sure I'll survive it, though. Pretty sure.

re, cosmos: i got a little teary at the end! and at the beginning, too. carl sagan: my first science!crush. sadly, no one in my work-sphere watched it. :/

I know! I got all choked up with the autographed book -- how pristine it still looks, like it was NdT's most precious possession.

Only a handful of my students watched. But, I think you can now watch online, so I will have to send them all there. I wonder if I should offer some bonus points for watching...the series is going to be THAT GOOD.

I was a little surprised that my 8th-grader's science class didn't make a bigger deal of this, but we watched regardless and (without prompting from me) it is now in our morning rotation of shows to watch before school.
