Took some pictures of chickens last week! Some even turned out: http://imgur.com/a/eHOXF

Emailed my advisor on Saturday to say that I couldn't keep working at the rate that I was. I'm missing a paper deadline, which I'm not pleased with, but I also feel like a person, so I guess it's working OK. I'm going to try to figure out how to run my life so I can sustainably produce great research and teaching without burning out or neglecting personal responsibilities.

I'm afraid that that attitude is going to mean that I'll look less qualified for faculty jobs. However, if I can't keep up with that level of workload anyway, why would I want a job that expects me to? Hopefully I'll find a job somewhere that fits me OK.
