I was just asked to present a paper to the California ASA and, of all things that I would like to do in my life, that is not one of them.

I am a babbling idiot at this point in my paper-writing endeavor. For those of you who are wondering, this is NOT the norm.

Gah! Why do I do this to myself EVERY FREAKIN' TIME!?! Someone shoot me with a gun that won't draw blood or cause pain but will teach me some sort of lesson, please.

I'm looking at the paper I just wrote and am deciding whether I'll pretend that I don't notice the size of my margins is really, really small (3/4" at most).

BTW, the answer to the above question is no. I won't ever learn and you and I both know that.

Instead of working on the short paper that I've got to turn in first thing in the morning (the same short paper which I have yet to begin writing, really), I am watching one of the dogs and my cat in their collaborative attempt at catching the fly that is roaming around in my bedroom.
