renay: Professor still hasn't replied to my email! It was a serious academic question, professor!
echthroi: That's questionable, since your last academic paper had the word "cock" in the title.

Hello, friends! Many days have passed and I have returned to the soul-crushing embrace of $dayjob where I earn a terrible amount of money selling popcorn. Today I went in on my day off to find one of the ICEE pumps hissing, as they do when they're out and there are no replacements, and everyone was like RENAY PLEASE FIX IT I KNOW YOU'RE OFF THE CLOCK BUT MAKE IT STOP (dramatization). It's nice to be appreciated instead of yelled at, which will happen the first weekend after tax returns have gone out and we're all grasping to throttle various necks, so I should enjoy it while it lasts. Everyone missed me a lot and I was the recipient of many great hugs and one awkward handshake. Normally it is the opposite; this was a nice change.

Other news:
I started a reading project with echthroi in January: She Wrote What?

Yesterday was the first Volunteers & Recruiting Committee meeting of the term and we got a lot done. We'll be sending out new and returning staff lists to our brand new, shiny chairs plus our returning chairs, and responding again to volunteers forms in the next week. Another VolComrade and I are undertaking a documentation project for forming new inter-committee groups, and we're examining our internal processes to find better ways to track our projects. For example, I proposed a new agenda/minutes structure and created an example and hope it will help us track our processes, work we volunteer for as well as allow other committees see what we're up to.

It's good to be a VolComrade. :)

I wrote more Teen Wolf fic, a little Inception fic, got a cat spayed, created a Youtube playlist of songs from a D-TV special I loved a as a kid, and spent a lot of time thinking about my resume but not actually working on it. Where did you go, January?
