On the plus side, slow week at work means getting research done for my Tales of the Slayer ficathon fic (no, not started yet. No, haven't got the human AU or Spuffy fics done either, eek). The bad side of this is the sheer volume of useless-yet-terribly-interesting information I'm absorbing about the Roman Republic in 48 BC. Why didn't I do history? It's fun and my university does a whole module on Jamestown! Darla fic! Astrophysics is of no use to me! Bah.

Mmm, history! Always a good thing, *especially* if it leads to more Darla-fic!

I answered your email, but it keeps bouncing back. I'm so sorry.

I need to make a "just kidding" icon

Employment opportunities for historians are nil.

Meanwhile, for astrophysicists....

Um. Nevermind.

You do astrophysics? Wow! Believe me, studying history isn't at all what is made of it (that is so not the right idiom..) My minor is history and it is actually rather sucky... we don't do the interesting stuff and if we do it is discussed to its early death.

no, not started yet

No, me neither. I'm doing Civil War era, which is really interesting, but I have to have a Virginian female soldier as the Slayer. But, the South didn't "employ" females as soldiers! The North apparently did, but not the South. What am I to do? Arghhh...

oh, yes, research is utterly absorbing. I found myself researching obscure and basically unnecessarily details for my Tales of the Slayers fic - even though my time and place are more of less familiar for me.

History is my big, big love, but I agree, the employment prospects are vague.

Yay history!
