# Aren't we all?
Mind if I drop this here? I'd start a new thread but it's probably been done and it's only a bandwagon anyway.



Bandwagons bandwagons la la la la la

# Evenin'
I've been away for a bit and then doing lots of lurking. I shouldn't be on now, either, I should be cooking dinner and applying for jobs. But the bandwagon called.

# Good man.
I've been off for a while writing, but it's so nearly finished now - just waiting for the proof readers and then publish.
Woo!

# Excellent stuff
I've been messing around giving loads of talks on half-finished work, swearing at collaborators, swearing while collaborators take three week holidays in the middle of finishing the paper, then getting all despondant and doing something else. Which means I now have two papers pretty much finished just in time for the job season, so it may all have worked out nicely.

# Always good.
Just had two accepted in the last week and one rejected, but I'm going to argue that as it's clear the numpty didn't understand the paper...
I also got my first refereeing assignment and I had to reject the paper as it was a pile of guff.
Oh yay, academia.
At least the book's not chemistry, anyway.

# They don't send me papers to referee anymore
I delayed too much on one because they were attacking my friends, then kept telling another journal that I was away from the office for weeks and had to decline. Which was true. They just have a habit of sending me stuff to referee just before I go away.


Edit: Congrats on the papers, by the way. I'm lucky if I manage one paper a year, let alone three a week...

# It's been a bumper week
And I've been collaborating like a Frenchman. And one of the papers took five months to be reviewed by a single referee who accepted it as is.
Go figure...
