Laundry List

I am tired...

1. of playing politics
2. of worrying about money
3. of being on call every weekend
4. of looking for a job
5. University of Chicago
6. bad drivers
7. being political
8. trying to figure out career paths
9. unreasonable people
10. fixing up this house
11. crappy real estate agents
    

So it has been awhile...

How very appropriate... you will need to excuse my writing and just follow since this will be more of a random conscience stream of thoughts...
I feel very old... in fact the title of my blog fits very much how I feel
Old and tired...
Can someone explain why some people get more crap than others? It was just explained to me that what I am dealing with is already more than the usual. hmmm

I am not sure if I should feel better ...

• with the explanation that the work is probably shoddy and the result will amount to nothing
• that is an indictment of the department
• this is more of a reflection of the senior attending and her character
  
• do I really want my name to be attached to the research

And to put the cherry on top, I am not sure what to make of contacting lawyers? Am I harassing her when there has been no response?

I have been advised that there will be no good end no matter what direction I take and this has already consumed my time and energy.
