Learning Curves: This Would Never Happen in Math
http://learningcurves.blogspot.com/2012/05/this-would-never-happen-in-math.html

I don't see what the editor is complaining about, I've only had the paper for a year." - Mathematician, upon being asked about the status of the paper that he is reviewing. Here's another great thing about switching from math to computer science - in addition to making double what I used to be making. It is so much faster and easier. To get things published. Get idea for paper. Do research. Write paper. Bitch, Ph.D.

Nimium Callidus Per Dimidium. Thursday, May 17, 2012. It's Not Just Our Organization that Gets Problem Interns. So yesterday Dean Dad posted about non-prepared interns.

You need a few semesters of specialized training before you are even qualified for our scutwork. Unfortuna...

Nimium Callidus Per Dimidium. Friday, May 25, 2012. Losing Battles with the Cat. The cat has an itchy rash. According to the vet, most times that a cat is itchy, it is because of fleas. Gwen is an indoor-only cat who is on flea preventative, and they found no fleas on her. If it's not fleas, then it's mites. If it's not mites, then it's probably a bacterial infection of the skin.
