Today is the day!
I've been thinking about this lately. All I do here is whine and complain about grad school. All you people must be fed up with it by now; I know I am! So, as of today, I promise to no longer complain about:

But, um, you're going to keep blogging, right? ;)
Actually, I think this blog is one of the least negative that I read, so I don't think you need to be too worried about being a downer.
I recently worked with a true top-class complainer. You've got nothing to worry about!
This is an April Fools' joke, right? Cuz, um, all I do on my blog is complain and you're gonna make me look bad if you stop.
Well, we can't have that, now can we? So just in case you're serious about this, I have a counter-proposal. Instead of not complaining anymore, how about you come up with a new thing to complain about once a month? This way there'll be variety and nobody will get bored.
Hell, we should start a "complaint carnival" where once a month we can all complain about the same thing!!! :-)
LOL, happy April Fools ;)
Of course I am not going to stop complaining, what else would I post here? :) But I will still take up MadHatter on the "complaint carnival" idea :)
Mad Hatter's suggestion reminds me of this Eddie Izzard skit about original sin (as in not the you're-born-with-it-type, but the sin-no-one-has-done-before, eg. I drowned an otter with a spoon). Anyhow, it made me giggle.
BTW the word verification for this post is surcasm, which sounds like sarcasm. Umm... is it/you trying to tell me something?
Amanda - wouldn't it be fun to be able to leave random messages for your commenters? ;)
D'oh! How did I not notice this was an April Fools' joke?!? I'm a goober. :)
EGF, you should try this and this ;)
haha!! good one, sciencegirl :).
Nice one!
If I didn't complain about those things, what would I possibly write about?
