Meet the Mad Scientist - Take One!

This is a test. It is only a test. You are witnessing a test of the Emergency Get-it-out-of-my-System. Any similarity between this post and something funny you might have read from one of my girls (Kelley .. .insert links to other blogs, please!) is purely coincidental.

Yes, I used to be a scientist. Was SOOOO proud of myself back in the days when I was a chemistry major in college. Even more full of myself once I went to graduate school. That experience was the beginning of the end of my life as a real scientist. Yeah, I went on to get the full Ph.D. but my heart just wasn't in it. So over the years, especially after a short time in a real college teaching job, the chemist in me has become more of a joke than anything else. Still, I'm SOOOOOO Type-A, I'm thinking I should have become an engineer. Especially when I think about all the money I'm missing out on.

Gee whiz, it's hard for me to focus on introducing ME right now. Probably because my current occupation is as a SAHM, and so much of my identity is wrapped in my kids, my home, and my marriage. This week I'm having a tough time with it all. Would really love to take a part-time job that puts all that education to use, but there ain't no such animal.

OK, cutting the crap for now. Will reintroduce at a better time. You know, when I can actually think and write in sentences.
