brigdhThings I did last night:
1. Wrote the paper that's due on Friday
2. Got a job for the summer.
...well, that was unexpected! Awesome, yes, but entirely unexpected. I'd been vaguely thinking about where I could work this summer, fully convinced that I was going to end up at McDonald's or the equivalent, but hadn't really been paying too much attention to the issue yet. So I was rather surprised to get contacted by a group looking for workers in CRM archaeology* over the summer, and then to get hired within 24 hours of writing them back. It is bizarrely perfect for my situation, since they're only looking for people the few months I'd be available anyway, and their headquarters is practically down the road from where I live. Not to mention, you know, they pay much better than McDonald's.
I must have some kind of good karma going on.
*CRM archaeology is totally ghetto archaeology. Whenever someone decides to build a new highway, or a new mall, or a new anything, they first have to have the area surveyed to make sure they're not about to destroy anything irreplaceable. That's CRM- Cultural Resource Management- archaeology. It's ghetto because you rarely find anything, when you do find something it's rarely anything interesting, and when you do find something interesting, the situation tends to be "Okay, you have two days to figure out everything you want to know before the bulldozers come". Still, compared to working at Walmart? Awesome beyond the telling of it.

Man, whoever invented spellcheck is my favorite person ever.
