Panic and Polling… and Conferences

Okay, panic mildly abated. We went shopping last night and I narrowed down gift-giving options and bought a Christmas tree. But I’m still going to be talking about it all here… and possibly giving Renee mouth-to-mouth resucitation, poor girl.

In other news, I’ve got a new poll up, as some of you have noticed. This one, I would like you, when you vote, to comment on your reasoning behind your choice at the bottom of this thread. (If you’ve already voted, you can comment retroactively.) As many of you know, I’m giving that workshop on “Career Planning” in February at the STAR Conference — Hint: Go! — and I’m collecting information to use in my lecture.

So let’s get some debate started!
