In late August, I thought things would slow down for me in September. Clearly, I was incorrect.
Oh well. Here’s what I’ve been doing for the last couple of months:
Getting more people in on the DonorsChoose Challenge! Are you in for the WIN?
Work work work. Still putting in those 60 hr weeks, but a few big [...]
Some random thoughts:
1. I am currently hiring for a 6 month position, no benefits, no promise of any continued employment.
We got >45 applications, and about half are from laid-off teachers in Michigan.
2. I’m still working >60hrs/week with no end in sight. I love this job, but it’s killing me. Looking at a Federal Job in [...]
I have officially sold my house, and have moved into an apartment about 1 mile from where I’m working. So, no more cross-state commuting! Yay!
Of course, I can’t find anything, I’m grieving for my garden, and I’m weeks behind in my work, so I’m still not quite ready to fire the blog back up just [...]
Can I just say, I really, really miss George Carlin? Anyway: a roundup of random items and a vote!
Item 1: Finally, after 2 years, we have an offer on the house!! We also did have to re-dig our water well…and repair the septic tank…but it does seem like it will happen. The downside to this [...]
Alas, life remains crazed, so how about I send you elsewhere for amusement today?
Historical Tweets!
This is their Darwin tweet.

So, spent some of yesterday learning what “sale in lieu” and “short sale” is. Between job and money issues, may have to be scarce for a few days–but I’ll be back this weekend!
Don’t forget to send in your Circus of the Spineless submissions!
By the folks at Paw-Talk. They usually talk about cute fluffy vertebrates, but made an exception for me
Here’s a selection:
“You say you blog for yourself, but you say that you have deliberately chosen “to write things that try to debunk quackery around entomological topics for lay folks.” Explain what you mean and give [...]
I am still very crazy busy, so thought I would recycle a post from 2005. I hope to be back to Bug Blogging soon. This is one of my favorite stories to tell, and thought you might enjoy the trip down memory lane.

Sunday morning at 8am, Mr. Bug and I are happily snoozing.
Suddenly: [...]
Super busy today, so need to spend some time getting recombobulated.
This, BTW, is not a photoshop job–it’s an actual sign in an airport that has a sense of humor
In the mean time, you may be amused to know that Stephen Colbert now has a diving beetle named for him.
Thanks to BooleanSplit [...]
And also Wednesday…Things are insanely busy at work.
How about a pretty Buprestid beetle instead of actual content?
Thanks to ursja for the use of this lovely photo!
