Hot Dogs for Breakfast

Note to self: despite what your tired tired brain tells you at 11 p.m., after a loooooong day of shuttling a job candidate all over hell and gone, you actually CANNOT speed-read Frankfurt School Theory first thing in the morning. Not even if you've taught it before. Probably not even if you included parts of it in your dissertation. Coffee is not that kind of miracle drug.

Note to self part 2: If you do not write that paper VERY SOON, you may as well cancel going to the conference at the end of the month and save yourself the "I'm giving a paper naked" dreams.

Note to self part 3: Whether you go to the conference or not, scheduling an appointment to get a haircut, for the first time in 3 months, will prevent you from looking like a bedraggled hippie. It may also save you precious hair-drying and styling time in the morning. Which you can then use to finish up reading Frankfurt School Theory that you should NOT convince yourself to leave until the next morning...
