Crap to get done:

Format and revise entire friggin' dissertation. File dissertation. Drink booze. DONE!!!! (this one is staying up here forever!)
Revise rejected article and send out again DONE!!!
Check in on MIA article and discover its status. --- Rejected. But revised and sent out Yet Again.
Write New Article and send out (in process)
Prepare all job materials. Make a list and check it twice.
Start mailing out job apps. Freak out. Avoid freaking out. Drink a lot.
Make research plan --- what should I work on next? What conferences should I attend next year?
At some point I will have to start selling organs on the black market to make rent. But the time to think about that is not here yet.
Need book orders for Winter classes. And a second job on top of that.
Avoid Thinking About Revising Dissertation Into Book Project
