I am wearing the Target tunic to work today. But it's black and I paired it with classic grey work pants and heels so I'm fancying it up. And it's Friday. This is how I'm justifying basically wearing a sweatshirt to the office.
I did this too but wore the purple one with skinny jeans and ballet flats. Super comfy :-)
Random: I ran this morning in the dark (I had a small flashlight) and went a new route. There was an area in the sidewalk where it switched from asphalt to cement and it was like an inch higher than the asphalt. I tripped and was SOOOOO close to falling on my face. I did this weird dance to catch myself and my arms were going everywhere. Of COURSE it was right when a guy on a motorcycle was driving by and I know he saw me.
I didn't fall but I feel like I should have just ate it and scraped my knees.
I don't know what this qualifies as, but I feel kind of bad. My BF was telling me yesterday that his advisor suggested he go into academia (he's a 4th year PhD student) and my reaction was basically "um, that's a terrible idea, I don't want to move to some stupid college in the middle of nowhere because you can't find a job anywhere else". In so many words. Whoops. I realized immediately that that was not exactly a supportive answer, and told him that while what I said actually is a concern for me, I think he should do whatever he feels is what he wants to do for a career... I think all he heard of my initial concern was "you think I won't be able to find a better job than one in the middle of nowhere". He has a typical fragile PhD student ego and I think it hurt his feelings, especially since I'm normally his biggest champion.
I think he's over it, but I still feel bad. And, really don't want him to go into academia, lol. I will not stand in the way of him choosing the right career for himself (especially since I know how much it sucks NOT TO do what you want for a career) but I really want to be able to choose where we end up and have the flexibility of being able to go anywhere. We're not even engaged so this is totally cart before horse anyway, but we ARE serious so his choices hopefully WILL affect me down the road.
Nooooooooooooooo to being in academia, especially as a psych professor. You'd be looking at moving to wherever the fuck he could get a job and he'll be paid peanuts.
I know!!! I hope that isn't what he lands on. This is the first he mentioned it and he isn't sure he likes teaching (just research and the academic community I guess) so I am not sure its a good fit anyway.
I just wanted to let everyone know, that I went out this morning I bought myself a new winter coat :-)
I am happy this thread lead to something out of the ordinary "I don't like Scandal" or whatever, but I was not expecting a full page worth of posts on winter coats.

In my experience, most research faculty don't really care for teaching anyway.
I'm interviewing someone at 10am, I'm going to bring my laptop and buy Sleater-Kinney tickets while he's talking.
Whoa. Sleater-Kinney is still around?! I haven't listened to them for at least 15 years.
They broke up about 7 or 8 years ago, they all had solo acts or new bands, and Carrie was on Portlandia. They just put out a new album and this is their "hey, we're back" tour.
I didn't get tickets, they had a limit of one per purchase, and by the time msniq & i had a plan, they sold out. wtf. There are no norcal or PNW tour dates, so I assume they'll put them on later and save us the drive to Spokane.
