It's clearly a theme
Frustration and inability to follow through. Argh. Slept horribly last night, which fouled up my plan for today of museum-hopping locally. Took everything in me to focus enough to drive out to do food shopping this morning. Came back, got lunch, then flopped while watching more Torchwood. The real frustration is that I misread a deadline on a job application and thus have missed it. And this is something I'd love to do, project management for Creative Commons. Ah well, beating myself up over it any more won't help matters. Though it has taught me that yes, CC does have positions open regularly and I should keep an eye on them. I'd love to be able to focus again and do what I really want. And not come home from work every day feeling uninspired and wind up spending half the night on video games. So of course now that I can't focus I am doing everything I can to get things moving again. Current Mood:  frustrated |

question about short story featuring an adjunct instructor
Sometime in the past thirty years, I've read a short story by an American writer that's about a male college instructor teaching a night class at a big-city college, technical school, or university. It might have been by Bernard Malamud, might have been by Stanley Elkin, or perhaps by another author of the 1940s-1960s. It did not paint a cheerful portrait, but offered at least a bit of ironic humor. I'm pretty certain it played some role in causing me to avoid teaching for several years. Any ideas about the title and author? |

LIVEJOURNAL RELEASE 92: NEW SITE UPDATES AND MORE
May 23, 2012 - The official LiveJournal Release 92 has been deployed. Here’s what you’ll find in this latest site update:
NEW
- Particularly long comment threads now collapse with the alert “...and [#] more comments.” Just click on that alert to see the rest of the comments. Here’s what this looks like:
- Notification emails now hide any content that was already placed inside an lj-cut instead of displaying the entire entry.
- Social Capital is now displayed for all communities on the profile page.
- You can now embed the Spotify player into your journal or community style.
- Personal userheads are now available for purchase. A personal userhead is of your own design and is unique to you, unavailable to anyone else. Purchase as many personal userheads as you like; each costs 5,000 LJ FunBux™, and is good for five years. Learn more.
BUGS, FIXED
- Scheduled entries should no longer return errors or double-post.
- Domain mapping should no longer force redirection to the LiveJournal login page.
- The format=light URL modifier works on entry pages again.
- Comment notification emails will send even if the entry has a poll.
- The "Music" section on the edit entries page will let you delete the entire text field.
- The help link next to “Do not add to friends pages and RSS” on the update page now links to the correct FAQ.
- The list of journals and communities added by default for new users has changed to
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/newsinfo.gif?v=92.1) news and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.1) lj_releases for non-Cyrillic users.
- Missing navigation items in the Classic journal style have re-appeared.
- Notifications about expiring add-ons will now have correct subject lines.
- The bold/italic/strikethrough buttons in the site default commenting scheme should no longer cause cursor positioning problems in Chrome.
- The Calendar feature will now update properly when you edit an entry and change its date.

Returning
Vacation good. Much loafing, movie watching, video games, dealing with screaming 6 year old and still love her. :) No chances for getting in the water though, which means I NEED to get to the beach this summer. Then two days of fellowship in NYC for the House of Netjer. Finally saw the Cloisters, ate great food, failed a test, lost land, and kept starting letters to Penthouse Forum. What more could you ask for? The challenge now is not to revert to my previous behavior and feel like everything can only get into my life by way of a shoehorn. Current Mood:  calm |

Back in Migraineheim
Nowhere--no where--near as bad as the dementia during the fall and winter, but I'm back to complex migraine symptoms nearly every day (only 1 symptom-free day in the last two weeks). Not so much stupidity as pain, this time around, but the stroke-like symptoms on the left are pretty common. Reading is unaffected, and I can often work in spite of the symptoms, but no progress on the novel. I'm hoping to get some writing done, here and there, though, as the ideas are still percolating--and starting to turn into conversations, scenes, etc. ETA: Am now trying wellbutrin, the next round of pharmaceutical roulette. It might help; I had no pain and reduced stroke-like symptoms while it was active, but was also dopey, and it had a sort of pleasantly depressed effect on my mood. We'll see... . |
