- The book.
- The end of the semester.
- The MLA paper looming.
- The fact that I'm in Laundry Dire Straits.
- The sounds of silence on my end re: the few applications I have out vs. the mutterings on the wiki, which I know that I should not peruse and yet I do, like a freak. I know, I know: no news is good news. Except with the advent of the wiki, no news can make one feel like a loser, which really sucks. Especially as one may not BE a loser for real. Ugh.

If it makes you feel any better, the rumor over at "Philosophy Job Market" (a blog), is that someone is going into the Wikis and randomly deleting and changing things... I'm not sure it is true, but they are blaming lack of info on that...
wiki is bad. Bad wiki.
Yes, the wiki is evil. IPF - actually, I heard a rumor about sabotage... at least on the page for my field, there's nothing totally apparent, just... I don't know. Weird information over the past week or so. Reports of MLA interviews scheduled for places with late deadlines or before one had even received the EEOC card - stuff that in my experience is atypical. Now, I could just have crap experience, and so could be out of the running at those places... or somebody could be posting false info (as happened last year on some of the wikis). Impossible to know. And this, my friends, is why life was better before the wiki. It doesn't tell you anything, ultimately, but rather just amps up the insanity. And yet, I cannot help myself. It's a sickness.
Gah. Fah. Wikis. Diet chocolate. Demise of civilization. Have faith in yourself, Dr Crazy. And hope you enjoyed your nap.
