thank fuck this week is over
Because it's been pretty wretched.
My day got completely fucked when the sample elevator for the gamma radiation source got stuck. One experiment completely ruined, three more down the drain if it's not fixed by Tuesday. Which, what repair company is going to mess with engine parts that are down inside a cesium source? NRGH.
So I rearranged things, and I spent an hour discussing experiments with my boss before he left (for a two-week trip to France), and I'm trying to figure out this stupid cell/colony sorting software that is NOT intuitively obvious and came with a manual written by someone who is a software engineer, not a scientific end-user (re: not user-friendly), getting more and more frustrated that each time I ran the same data file I got different answers.
I finally shut things down and headed out to the train platform, only to get stuck in the rain. Without an umbrella. Awesome.
You know, I still don't understand: storms like this happen in Houston all the time, but people STILL don't know how to drive in them. ?
WHY YES, IT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA TO GO FROM 65 MPH TO 25 MPH WITH NO WARNING BECAUSE OF SOME RAIN. REALLY. AND TO DRIVE AT TWILIGHT IN MISTY RAIN WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS. VERY SAFE.
So I was in a FINE mood by the time I got home.
But. My copy of War was here when I arrived. And the internets gave me this, which goes some way to alleviating my crankiness.
Shoulders. COLLARBONES.
I am ordering a pizza so I don't have to cook, and I'm opening some wine or some cider. A lot of wine and/or cider.
Next week is going to be better, right? RIGHT.
