CMH announced at lunch that she is resigning from the Center active at the end of the fiscal year (September). What a relief. All year she has been singing the song, "I'm a researcher, I'm a researcher". Suddenly, she's a clinician and research is not her life path, the big picture, really she just doesn't want to waste her time applying for a big NIH grant that the boss has dictated that she and DRL apply for. She was tremendously condescending when she delivered the news - "Well you should understand - after all you have an 'artist's soul' and you certainly can't make art [in this job]." I did a scooby doo on that one - as fucking if. Good riddance to negativity Ms. Energy Vampire!
