I don't like soft-boiled eggs.)? And is there a point to shedding if there's enough storage?<br /><br />(Rhetorical questions. Don't feel obligated to answer...)<br /><br />I'll look for the article.

And do you miss it?<br /><br />My weakness is cookware and dinnerware, which makes decluttering my kitchen hard. And much "kitchen stuff" was inherited from relatives so there's that too.<br /><br />And when's the gardening article coming out?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808625894610750918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229602.post-50869283601137254412012-04-25T10:42:19.796-04:002012-04-25T10:42:19.796-04:00The latter would be correct.

A song about the questionable value of a PhD is best played full volume, in the lab late at night when your experiments aren't working. Sadly, I missed the The Specials back in 1980. They would have been perfect at 3AM.<br /><br />I assume, however, that you weren't meaning to refer to the specifics of getting a doctorate--more to the emptiness of slaving away on the treadmill merely to make money to buy more "stuff."Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808625894610750918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229602.post-61222825322598157242012-04-23T12:25:07.775-04:002012-04-23T12:25:07.775-04:00Yes!!!

So many ska shows: Prayer on the dance floor in the form of sweat and doc martens. Haha!

My favorite:<br /><br />You get your PhD,<br />How happy you will be,<br />When you get a job at Wendy's<br />And are honored with Employee of the Month.<br /><br />It came out in the 1990s during one of my postdocs. Nobody goes into science for the money, though.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808625894610750918noreply@blogger.com
