Just think, the fall semester is right around the corner!
I still have panic attacks over what paper I need to be working on right now! It's been 6 months since I graduated. Maybe one day I will be able to relax again. Maybe.

Fall semester is a whole different beast.
Classes are only on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
But I have 14 of them in a row. That coupled with my 2nd job having me work Sundays and whatever my grad program requires of me, it's likely I won't have a day off for 14 weeks straight.
But I likely won't have as much homework, so, ya know, trade-offs.
Oh hey speaking of. Just finished the summer semester and this professor gave me a full 100% in the class and said shes going to recommend I speak at graduation in the spring.

I had a dream last night about being late for school. Woke up really stressed, then remembered I don't go to school any more so I relaxed. Then realised I was late for work.

She was also good before the Hell Class, I think.

Showed up at work at 8. Apparently I'm not scheduled today, my boss extended my vacation through today. Oops.
So I mentioned in the last thread. I got moved to my own office about a month and some change ago. I was told last week my department is moving into the area I'm in now and they need my office for someone else, so I'm being moved away from my department again. This time their not sure where because there is very limited desk space.
We have some people who work from home 4 out of 5 days and some people who work from home when their not feeling great but don't want to use a sick day. I think I'm going to suggest that since my work is apparently as such that they don't need me physically for anything, and since no one consults me for anything, maybe for the time being it would be best if I just work from home. Save desk space.

Just... be really careful about visibility. If you feel your job is already at risk, working from home may put you into an "out of mind" position -- or worse, one where they look for justifications to cut you.
Not saying work from home is bad, nor do I know everything about your work environment. But I'd be hesitant about sliding into the background.
My convertible standing desk arrived today! Or I guess I should call it a desktop - it’s not an entire desk. Just enough for two monitors, keyboard, mouse, and a few nick-nacks.
I even managed to acquire one of the “Ergodriven Topo” standing desk mats for free, because apparently there was one already in the office that wasn’t being used, and now I’ve got a whole convertible workspace situation.

I had a dream that ended with me getting charged and trampled by an elephant in Barcelona, and for the first hour after I woke up I was so clumsy and uncoordinated that I got to the gym and literally tripped over somebody else's feet.
There is a whole in my shoe and I'm reading a gumshoe story on my ride home
You sent me down a brief hole looking up the NES game Gumshoe, which is always what the word makes me think of. I played the hell out of that game when I was a kid.
gumshoe (n.)
"plainclothes detective," 1906, from the rubber-soled shoes they wore (allowing stealthy movement), which were so called from 1863 (gums "rubber shoes" is attested by 1859); from gum (n.1) + shoe (n.).

OK, I've always taken the usage of gumshoe for granted.
But...why are they called gumshoes?
The Internet says:
Origin
mid 19th century (in the sense ‘galoshes or soft-soled shoes’, suggesting stealth): the current sense dates from the early 20th century.
I didn't know that! Neat! Much better than the image of literal gum stuck to someone's shoe, which I imagine is much more likely the mental default for people of our era.
Edit: Dammit Mori it's early on a Monday we should all be working right now.

Get a step stool. You'll want something to put your foot on just to change your standing posture.
I always figured it was about them wearing sneakers, but I dunno if that's cause I read a lot of really old books or because Australia hung onto old names for things for a bit longer. We still call galoshes "gumboots" so the association between gum/soft shoe has always been fairly strong for me.
While this does provide good writing bracketing for my planned lunar amazon noir novel, but then the question come up about biology.
and I'm in a rabbit hole of research articles.
tl;dr 20th century scientists had no idea how the female human body works, I'm strongly suspecting the moon missions succeeded because NASA looked like the Simpson's bloodline.

The question of direct sexual release on a long-duration space mission must be considered. Practical considerations (such as weight and expense) preclude men taking their wives on the first space flights. It is possible that a woman, qualified from a scientific viewpoint, might be persuaded to donate her time and energies for the sake of improving crew morale; however, such a situation might create interpersonal tensions far more dynamic than the sexual tensions it would release. Other means of sexual release (masturbation, homosexuality) would be discouraged because of the confined quarters and the lack of privacy on such a mission. Thus, it appears that methods involving sublimation are more practical than these more direct alternatives

I'm just so tired.
but really, that's a neat sounding book.

Anyway, I don't want to go to work tomorrow.
I have never done the former and it has been 5 years since the latter

Feeling better now though but what the shit
I mean, what's not to like? There's no consequence to my actions, and very little required. Everyone should quit jobs more often to feel this freedom.
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
