Don't make jokes about blinding people with science, kids.

I am taking a moment out of One of Those Lab Days to point out that it is almost time for a new lab notebook. Yes, I realize that I have posted this two other places already, but I do get an inordinate amount of enjoyment out of it. I mean, really. You can fit a crapload of science (that's the metric unit for science... who's got a good suggestion for the imperial unit?) into one lab notebook, and I've filled almost three. Because I am awesome.

SO SATISFYING.

Trying to ignore the part where I'll be here until 10pm tonight. And back at 7:30am tomorrow. Of course, Bill has probably been here since 7:30am today, so I don't have much right to complain. Damn workaholics, making the rest of us look bad...

If I've never talked to you about my PI before, he's actually just about the coolest person in the world. I don't think he ever stops thinking. He remembers authors of papers he read 25 years ago, and supports my buying lab supplies at ax-man, and NEVER STOPS THINKING. Also, he buys me coffee.

More notebook record-keeping for a bit, then a break to go to the bookstore to get a lab notebook for brewing, then prep for this evening and collect some tissue, dinner (anyone up for dinner at stub&herb's/acadia/town hall? probably around 6:30) then a big experiment at 8, then home to my new Langer's Ball CD, which I forgot to load onto my widget. Sounds good to me.

the hedge abides.

Are jokes about weird science okay, then? Or should I just say that this was a triumph?

As long as it doesn't give me flashbacks to getting formaldehyde in my eye, we're good.

I believe Leuke was telling me about working with experiments that generate terabytes of data every day.

Quality, not quantity, wormie-pie.

Buying lab supplies at Ax-Man is about the awesomest thing ever.

It's so much less expensive than Fisher! Their surgical instruments are sub-par, but that's because I think they are primarily meant to be used as roach clips.

I remember baseball every time I walk past my fridge, because I have three tickets up there! We should get yours to you this week, since [livejournal.com profile] piratehearts and I will be coming from St. Paul and may be unavoidably detained...
