I’ve got it in spades.

Today, I have a meeting to discuss some [financial irregularities](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=420304) . That will be a lot of fun.

Then I have to get Dr. Boss motivated to finish some experiments so we can get a least **one** paper published this year. _Here are the animals for transplant. Let me know when you can do the surgeries and I’ll have everything set up for you. Yes, it’s a pain in the ass, but I’m doing all the grunt work. All you have to do is show up, shut up and cut up._

Next up, fill out paper work for student workers. \*No, we will not irradiate them, even though sterilization may be a good idea! \*

Oh yeah, and the department has to file our reorganization plan. Turns out that when the Department Head left us for his new job, this was left unfinished. Here is an email from one of our junior researchers to the departed DH:

> Good to see you in San Fran. Sorry we didn’t have a chance to talk much. I wanted to contact you on behalf of the collective group here in regards to the Transplant Immunolgy Group proposal to the Dean. At this point - as you know - this proposal still has not occured - despite things going forward with \<list of Big Wigs from the School of Medicine\>. We all feel as a group that is is absolutely crucial that we get this proposal in ASAP for us to have any chance of getting any funding. Therefore, we have decided to submit this on behalf of ourselves within the week. I have an older draft of the proposal that I could use to edit. If you have a more recent version - that would be great if you could email it to me (us). Also - if you could let me know exactly how to submit this to the Dean?? Do you just “drop it off” or ??? Thanks for understanding the urgency of this for our survival

Will I still be employed? Stay tuned! Same Mouse Time, Same Mouse Channel! whine, moan, bitch, complain. . .
