Dear brain, good morning it is 5am. Please switch off so that I may sleep. Thanks
I know that feel bro. Happens to me from time to time. And after going to bed later than normal last night, my brain decides I need to wake up at 5 this morning, 2 hours ahead of schedule. I couldn't sleep and just laid there for 2 hours. I should have just gotten up then, gone to work 2 hours early, got my shit done, and gone home 2 hours early.
Hey dawg, I haven't had a weekend without work (unless I requested time off) in over a decade. It helps if you don't have friends who want to do things on the actual weekends, so you can just treat your Monday-Tuesday as the weekend.
Working Saturday shifts sucks. I can't wait to be finished with school and get one of those 9-5 desk jobs all my working friends complain about.
The 9-5 is kind of nice(it's actually 8-5 for me...with a one hour lunch beak thrown in).
The downside is there are no shifts or covering...if I need a day off, I have to use a vacation day...which you only have so many of. But at least I'm getting paid for not being at work on those days.
1am email from my nightowl of a PhD supervisor: "How did you arrive at the equation ... of your summary?"
Cue drawing a total blank and panic when I can't remember or find details of a calculation last considered months ago. Said equation is the starting point of several months work. If it's wrong, all work done in those months is useless.
30 mins later, another email. 'Ah, it's ok, you're correct...'
It will be a while before my heart stops racing. PhD panic may be getting to me a bit!

Does your professor really use the ellipsis or are you just summarizing? Guy at work sends emails containing nothing but 1-2 sentences, and he ends them all with '...' which makes him come off as very hostile, and it drives me crazy because I'm not sure if he just over-uses it out of habit or if he hates my guts :-/
Just reading it, it looks like the first one is an ellipses added in by Ushaara to replace the actual equation, and the second one might be something the professor actually used.
I don't care that it is pouring down with rain outside and that you 'don't want to stand outside getting wet while you're having a smoke'. YOU DON'T COVER THE [CENSORED]ING SMOKE DETECTORS SO THAT YOU CAN SMOKE IN THE FLAT WITHOUT SETTING THE ALARMS OFF.
I have sent an email to the landlord with a photo of the roof smoke alarm having a sock still fitted over it that you idiots didn't even have the common sense to take it off again afterwards, because I don't feel like DYING if there happens to be a fire and the alarm doesn't go off because you twits covered the damn thing, I hope you get booted out sooner rather than later.
No love,
Me.
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
I live in a student accomodation complex, basically it is a communal flat, we have a shared kitchen and a couple of bathrooms, but each individual bedroom is fitted with an electronic lock, so when we first enter we have to swipe our card, it unlocks the front door and our own bedroom door, none of the other bedrooms. Gives security and privacy.

Take said sock. Insert a nice, big orange. Then pretend you're a main character from Ninjago. And when they complain? "Seriously, officer, you think I beat someone with an orange? I mean, come on, that's just stupid."
I know it is an ugly thing to be jealous, and this post could be seen as fishing for attention, but damn I am so jealous of everyone and their Divine interactions lately.

Incredibly tired of being sick. Been since Friday. If it follows the trend set by my wife and mom in law, I will not feel better until Friday. So if I'm excessively short with you in game, it's not personal.
I guess I'm kinda in the middle of a mixed rave and rant, but after last night's tornado here that (rave:)barely missed my house by a little over three quarters of a mile and (rant:)instead went on to hit my son's elementary school and the area back there (oh, and my workplace too, so maybe I won't have to go into work tomorrow. [nobody was there, at least])...
It's coming again. Thanks. We're about to get this mess twice in two days. Do not want. I'm moving to outer space.

So sorry to hear about your workplace. I'm glad you're safe though, and hope you stay safe for the rest of it.

The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."
