Well How About That, Then

Note: this post contains a lot of profanity. Like even more than usual for me. Just so you know.



So I was enjoying this conference. People were seriously INTO the talks being given and I was look forward to some intense discussion as part of our presentation.

Yeah, two people came to our ninety minute panel this morning.

The FUCK, AAUP.

I guess two people is better than none, but I'm assuming the issue is the usual apathy the professoriate often has with academic librarians. (Sure, we have advanced degrees, teach, publish, take part in national and international committees and the like, but we're not real faculty like they are. *coff*HORSESHIT*coff*)

Sure, academia is being beset on all sides by attacks on academic freedom, tenure, and the bottom fucking line, but hey, everyone for themselves.

Grr. I'm annoyed.

I'm gonna go cheer myself up by writing fic.

There. Feel better now?

...No. I think I helps though.

*SIGH*

If only there was some Chris around to help too...

*peeks at you*

...

*SIGH*

You know I don't have as much Chris...

Dude, I get it and it sucks. I'm sorry you had that happen :(

I'm over it now. It's just a bummer. The CV line is still the same at least. Big national presentation at a national conference. Blah blah.

Yeah, it sucks when no one shows up for something you worked hard on.

How 'bout Chris AND Karl?

[caitri.livejournal.com]

Aw, I HEART you.

Also the boys. God I love these pics. (Don't they have the most painfully beautiful eyes?)

...A BAMF off? Do you really wanna start this?


LOL. I kid. My, but they are pretty.

[abigail89.livejournal.com]

Totally amazing. Never have I seen men with such gorgeous and mesmerizing eyes.

AFter all the research and saving I did this week for the Daily C&D?--I dunno. It could be epic.

[gadgetorious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should probably have taken into account who I was talking to. Also, my Chris collection is pitiful when compared to my Karl collection so I'm about 110% sure I'd lose.

If there's a BAMF-off on my lj I get to be the judge, right? Right? :D

It's like they follow you around the room. *moves experimentally* Or it could be the hotel. either/or.
