Friday Hair Poll

Okay, I have created A Poll of Great Importance. It is about hair, and the lengths thereof. It is open to everyone, but the answers are private, because of the last question, to which, in case anyone wants to know, my answer is "yes", and I don't mean the small fine hairs like on the back of my hands, oh no. I wish to know if I am a freak. (I am using my birthday icon from [livejournal.com profile] coconutswirl because of the pigtails. It's a theme.)

ETA: Oh, damn. Where it says "less than usual, more, more than usual", the middle option is meant to be "the same".

[Poll #501596]

Yeah, though I only PhD half-time anyway - I used to work half-time and have stopped that. But, I've already had a 2-year break because of going nuts and fighting with my (ex-)supervisor, so I really need to get going again.

Actually, I think I'm ready to stop being a full-time at-home mother now - though I may change my mind in a couple of weeks when I'm trying to act intelligent and still being woken up 5 times a night.

I PhD part-time, too. And work less than half-time (8-12 hours a week, usually). And am ill part-time. Well, ill always, really, but sleep a lot. I'm intending only to take 6 months off from work (because that's all they pay me for) and I don't think I'm really full-time at-home mother material, either.

You'll actually find nothing much about anything to do with babies in [livejournal.com profile] sabethea as I know half my friends list find the whole idea of children somewhat less interesting than watching cats poo (and with your own, you may feel that that's enough for you, too) - but [livejournal.com profile] sabsbaby has any baby-related stuff I write.

Have friended both - though my technique is to ignore the fact that half my friendslist are fiercely child-free and expect them to adore mine anyway. And, honestly, at the moment I will listen to anyone talk about their baby as long as they listen to me talk about mine - I'm now not the newest mother in my LJ circle, and it's lovely to hear people being at stages I've been past. So I'm sure your baby will inspire me to fits of nostalgia when it arrives.

Which is odd, because in real life I'm noted for being a smart-mouthed and rather mean activist type.
