I thought about writing it like that. But I found it more funny to leave a possible linguistic argument in a signature which has already spawned disagreement.

Self-dignosing my very bad dry eyes that came out of nowhere a week ago. It's not bacterial (little discharge) or viral (no pinkness)...Allergic? Doesn't that usually come with itchiness and swollen eyelids? Blepharitis? But eyelids feel fine, and washing eyes doesn't seem to help. I can hardly read any paper right now, and I'm starting to worry about corneal abration...
S: dry eyes
O: dry eyes
A: dry eyes (long hours awake? too much time in front of a monitor?)
P: visine 😀
EDIT: try using the artificial tears...

Man, I was doing a 100-man Brawl in Super Smash with Ike, and I got to 92-KOs in under 3 min, and then stupid Ness comes in, eats the Hot Curry and starts damaging/stunning me, allowing an easy KO by the alloys. I could have gotten the "beat 100-man Brawl in under 3:30" trophy if Ness didn't come in and screw things up! Stupid items, stupid Ness!

There is an escaped rooster running rampant through my neighborhood (which mostly consists of apartment complexes and the occasional co-op)
That's right - a rooster! It may be illegal to have it within city limits....
What does a rooster do every morning? Crow - I can hear it right now
You see, the rooster has decided that the crop of bush outside my apartment is prime real estate and has therefore taken up residence
I want to kill the rooster.

Of course.
Nope....i want to get settled wherever i end up, and get started on a rotation. (after a few weeks of graduation celebration etc) My thinking is, the sooner i can get some rotation experience, and find a mentor, the sooner i can start working on my PhD work, the sooner i finish.
Plus i dont get paid in my lab now....and i would get paid during a rotation

OKay - barring revisions and finishing adding my citations I'm done. It is in the hands of my PI now.
Oh - and apparently I was whining for no reason. You guys are CRAZY with your million page theses!!

Congrats Pickles!!!....
Now on the other end of the spectrum....I am starting mine this evening
I'll be editing my thesis tonight and most of the weekend...
Good
, Pickles! Home stretch now; we can do this. And good to BoSoxMack. Although the last few days are nerve-wracking, I'd much rather be where I am now than where I was two months ago...

To move away from thesis talks -
One of my girlfriend's friends decided she wants to move with me and my girlfriend to our new city. There are a myriad of reasons why I don't want this girl coming, but I'm disturbed by someone deciding that my MD-PhD sojourn should be used a jumping-off point for their life as well. She also wanted to accompany us on our apartment-hunting trip in a few weeks.
WHO INVITES HERSELF ON A LIFE-ALTERING DECISION? That puts me in the awful position of having to tell her "no". We went to dinner the other night, and she avoided the topic until the very end. I had to basically shoot down the idea completely without getting into the real reasons I don't want her going with us (extraordinarily unreliable, all-week partier, etc.).
It was brutal. I was hoping that she would just be pissed at me (as my GF didn't really say much/offered ideas over how it might work), but...damn. My girl just called and said her friend won't even look at her today (they work together).
This infuriates me. I worked my butt off for years to get in this position. I don't need people thinking "Hey! Inuranic is moving to a new city and will have a secure income. His girlfriend will be working full-time and bringing in money as well. They seem stable...how can I work this to my advantage?" I'm sure she meant well, but I refuse to be a halfway house for wayward girls who haven't decided what they want in life.
My favorite part of the conversation was when I said that if she was truly serious about moving to this place, then she was more than welcome to come down after we were settled and look for apartments/jobs using us as her base (temporarily). She goes "Well, I probably won't have the money for that..." but she's all for jumping in my car when I'm driving and paying for it, and piggybacking on whatever place I find to live in?!?!
This is why I avoid having friends. This is why I love you, SDN. You won't try to use me, right?

Oh, as a caveat to my story, my GF has two large dogs - which makes finding a home that much more difficult (and expensive). The friend also has a large dog, and would want her own bedroom. She wasn't sure if she would even like it down there, necessitating my GF to ask the friend what she and I would do if the friend wasn't going to stay (i.e., we can't afford the size of the apartment we would need with her down there). She goes "Oh...well, I guess you guys could just move again..."
Ugh.
Ugh.

At todays lab meeting the prof announced that he accepted an offer from another big university and will be leaving my school after this semester...how upsetting is that? I mean, the lab was like 90to 95 % of my social life :O

I HATE PACKING!!!
I'm moving in two days (because I start my first lab rotation in two weeks, scary huh?) and I HATE PACKING. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT.
Also. My PI decided that it was not necessary to tell me that he was going away ALL THIS WEEK, even though Thursday is supposed to be my last day. I was only going to come in next week for one or two days to wrap stuff up and pack up my desk, but now there's going to be a lot of actual working, because he isn't here NOW when I am here! *CURSES*
That is all. Just needed to rant.
Back to packing.
