The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Long day of work ahead for me writing three 20-25 page essays: one on Ellison's Invisible Man and science fiction; one on Collin's The Moonstone, Shelley's Frankenstein, and the Gothic; and one (hopefully successful) attempt to stage a reconciliation between Wittgenstein's thrust toward ordinary language and Derrida's theory of deconstruction.

So yes, this is how I spend my weekends. Welcome to grad school.
 
I only have a few revisions I have to make for my Strauss/Nietzsche paper. I've got a 15 pager on women factory workers in Lowell, Massachusetts from the 1830s-1840s and their reflection on the wider culture of New England women, so squeezing out 15 pages won't be a problem. I've got a 20 minute presentation for each of them, but those are always easy. I hate power points so I'll just do a short lecture.
 
I just have one major term paper this semester, doing a comparative analysis of the theological poetry of two Christian Neoplatonists from the late 4th century and how they poetically conceptualize the Trinity. Esoterik as fukk.
 
On lunch. Weird being back in the working world again. Interesting how corporate bodies all pretty much operate the same once they reach a certain size. Must revolve around the LCD.

It all boils down to hyper-specialization in a hyperreal environment, really.

I'm the opposite of hyperspecialization for now and the foreseeable feature. I'm weekend roaming retail customer assistance, so I've gotta basically learn every single area in a home improvement store. From everything I can see and have heard it's going to be a very flexible, fast paced kind of thing that's going to make it very easy to transfer to FT in any area in the future if needed.

But for now I just needed weekend work to supplement my GI Bill income and need to focus on school. This just gives me all sorts of financial and relocation flexibility in the future as well as keeping me from having a huge gap in my employment record, eroding soft skills, etc.

I'm a receiver in a grocery/retail store. Easily the best job available, you should try to get into receiving if possible.
 
Drinking coffee and trying to work off a bit of a hangover. I didn't drink that much but this sort of thing happens after consuming a cheapo/shit brand of beer. Still, I can't complain since the drinks were free.
