Where do the hours go?

Why is it that there never seems to be enough time in the day??!!  I feel like I have senioritis.  On the plus side, I wrote four cover-letters and had phone conversations with two friends I hadn't talked with in a while.

I still have to:

1. Review the coverletters once more before sending them off
2. Finish one table for one of my chapters and add the results to the text
3. Re-do the analysis for another chapter and revise the text accordingly
4. Revise the discussion of another chapter
5. Get a copy of my birth certificate
6. Contact someone about a postdoc I'm interested in and research it some more
7. Finish going through/organizing drawers and closet
8. Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs!!!!

High Commander's log:

Only two more seasons of 3rd Rock left to watch!  That show is hilarious :)

Guess I was never born

My parents lost my birth certificate.  Now I have to go through the process of ordering a copy for myself...joy.  Here is a link on how to go about ordering a copy of your birth certificate in your state:

BBQ and fireworks

It's really annoying how some people turn everything into a political event.  They can't enjoy one day of BBQ and fireworks without bringing politics into it.

Emergency binder

Nothing gets you cleaning out your files and drawers like looking for a document.  Have not found it yet, on the plus side I did find a service agreement I was looking yesterday and my social security card. I guess there are a couple other place the document might be.  I need to create an emergency binder, I found these on the web:

I wouldn't recommend keeping your information on Google Docs...seems too easily hacked for my taste, but this page has some good ideas never-the-less:

More tech frustrations

Best Buy said I can't get a new phone because technically the repair has to be on the same phone and since they always give me a refurbed phone it's not the same phone that breaks down.  I said that no one ever gave me the option of repairing my phone, they just gave me a refurbed.  The Geek Squad tech said that the option to have the original phone repaired and returned to you is not available for cell phones...So Best Buy basically created a catch 22 for their "no lemon policy" for phones.  Awesome.

Tech frustrations

I'm so frustrated with Apple and Best Buy!!!!!!!!  This is the third time my iPhone has broken down!  I have Geek Squad Black Tie Protection so they send in my broken phone and give me a refurbished one.  Hopefully they'll give a new phone this time.
