Ways to set off my bullshit meter in less than 5 seconds
Sending me, a student, an email addressed to Dr. Queenrandom with the opening phrase "Due to your stature in the oncology field...."

Permanent Spousal Record: Recent Conversations
The Inexplicable
LB: "I should have figured you'd be into kyaking; lesbians love kyaking."*
The Dastardly
Setting: QR is diligently, distractedly writing a manuscript on the couch whilst LB watches a hockey game.
LB: "Can I have your Cookie Dough Ice Cream in the freezer?"
QR: "Yeah sure whatever....." commence 10 second pause while I tippity-type away... "Wait...What? NO!"
LB: "Too late! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
We Love Each Other, I Swear
In response to me sending him this ecard:
Would that it were not so true.
*Said completely without a sense of irony. I'm glad my husband is comfortable enough with my sexuality to make seminonsensical jokes about it.

Spring Cleaning
I thought I would be much less busy when I got back from a week long conference.*
I thought horribly wrong.
I am now Filled! With! Ideas! in addition to having to finish up long-planned experiments and write my manuscript. Oh and put together a journal club presentation, help plan and implement a career development series for the fellow's association, spend a day escorting around an invited speaker, and other various seminars. April has been a bitch and May doesn't look much better. I might not get any relief until myfucking cherished civil service of jury duty in July (apparently "I'm writing a goddamn dissertation and trying to find a job you fuckwits" is not a valid excuse for getting out of jury duty).
I'm also trying to fill out all the forms to transfer labs - my mentor is changing institutions and the plan is for me to go to a similar lab here to finish up the last few months of my training - and making sure supplies & such are in order for me to do so without too much disruption to my research.
To give you an idea of how busy I am, witness the current shameful, shameful state of my lab desk, which is the worst it has been....ever in my life:
