I can bitch and moan, but there is a beautiful white light at the end of this horrid tunnel: hibernation.  That&#8217;s right, the moment we&#8217;ve all been waiting for&#8230; (or at least the one that I have):  Starting November 1, I will go into hibernation to write my dissertation.  From thenceforth, only personal travel (weddings, burfdays, Xmas), no conferences, only 1 paid gig per month.  I&#8217;ve been practicing the word &#8220;No&#8221; lately and am getting kinda good at it.  And I need to be because I think that I will be in hibernation for a good 6-9 months.  Crazy, eh?<\/p>\n<p>Thus, this upcoming month of conferencing is bound to be a nice little social hurrah before I disappear into the world of dissertation.  As usual, I don&#8217;t schedule anything during conferences but I&#8217;m always hanging around the conference or in the hallways and love adhoc socialization and food outtings. So, if it&#8217;s your thing, hopefully we can play at any of these public events:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.picnicnetwork.org\/\">PICNIC<\/a> &#8211; Sept 25-29, Amsterdam\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mocollywood.com\/\">MoCollywood<\/a> &#8211; Oct 2, London\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctforum.org\/events\/events.asp?event_id=110\">Connecticut Forum<\/a> &#8211; Oct 3, Hartford\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.4sonline.org\/meeting.htm\">4S<\/a> &#8211; Oct 11-13, Montreal\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/conferences.aoir.org\/index.php?cf=6\">AOIR<\/a> &#8211; Oct 17-20, Vancouver\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asis.org\/\">ASIST<\/a> &#8211; Oct 21-23, Milwaukee\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>(Oh, and to pre-empt the question that I&#8217;m getting frequently these days and am bound to get at all the academic conferences, the answer is: no, I&#8217;m not going on the academic job market this year.
