My polka dot dress makes another appearance! This is
quickly becoming my favorite dress; I love the fit, the colour, the pattern, and
the little sleeves. A contrast skinny belt completes things. Never mind the sour face, my crazy (and rude and disrespectful) neighbours kept me up until 4 am ... and I even had to call the cops twice to get them to stop.

In other news, things have been going pretty great lately. I am pleased to announce that my dissertation to book project is almost finished and I hope to be approaching publishers soon. I wrote a book!
I've also been hard at work on a new grant/research proposal that I hope will prove fruitful and allow me to get back into the archives. I am, likewise, busy building a website for myself to showcase my research, scholarship, and teaching (fellow academics, do you have a personal website? Have you found them helpful on the job market?).
I've got a lead on a great job that I am really excited about and the helpmeet and I went out and bought a shiny used car (but it's new to us).
Needless to say, it's been a very busy few weeks! But I think the topper for me has been getting to see one of my favorite movies, Jaws, on the big screen in 35 mm at a local theater, Metro Cinema. An event which was preceded by a delicious sushi feast. Yeah, that was a good night.

I hope you get the job, and i hope you neighbors settle down (or at least take a hint)
Love the dress, my favorite mix of colors.

Sorry to hear about the crappy neighbours :(

Ah things sound like they are going swimmingly. Congrats on the book and the job lead AND the car! :)
WOOHOOOO!!! Sounds like everything is going swimmingly, except the neighbors. I do have a personal website and it has gotten me a few emails for jobs, but unfortunately they are dumb jobs that I would never want, ha ha...

Woman, you work fast! I'm impressed that you have a manuscript ready to send to publishers so quickly. I haven't heard of websites particularly helping candidates on the job market in history, but I also haven't heard of anything to indicate that they are a liability.
I love your polka dot dress. In fact, I just purchased a dress very similar to yours and I cannot wait to wear it to work tomorrow.
So sorry to hear about your horrible neighbors. I have been very lucky in the past and for the most part have had okay neighbors. At least no one ever kept me awake until 4 am.
Congrats on your book. I cannot wait to see a published copy of it. And I'm crossing my fingers that that great job lead pays off for you.

you HAVE been busy, busy, busy! Glad to hear the book is in order and that you're prepping for the new hiring cycle!
I am so glad that my neighbors are old because I don't have to worry about calling the cops on them. I think they may be calling the cops on me.
