MPFRP: Hi! :3
Me: Yo.
Me: Sorry, but I won't be able to RP today. I've got work I need to finish up.
MPFRP: Awwwwwwww... :<
MPFRP: But you can multitask, can't you? :D
Me: I think I'd be hard pressed to.
MPFRP: Aww, come on! :<<< I'm patient! We can go as slowly as you need. x3
Me: Sorry, no can do.
MPFRP: DDDD: Why not!?
Me: *Sigh* Listen.
Me: In a few days, my team and I need to turn in a 50ish-page lab report I need to write regarding the relative efficacies of physical and sodium hydroxide-based chemical absorptions of carbon dioxide from nitrogen via a pilot-scale 26" packed bed absorption column utilizing 2/5" ceramic Raschig rings and the feasibility of a scale-up removal of hydrogen sulfide from industrial stack gas using a similar process based on the acquired separation data and other potentially complicating factors. As of right now, we are only halfway done, and I'd rather get it done tonight so I can send it out tomorrow to a professor I'm friends with to make sure our team's logic is sound. The only reason why I'm on AIM is because one of the lab techs our team worked with recently got a broken leg and lives somewhat distant from campus, so we are chatting with him online rather than in person. I do not have ANY time to fool around on this matter, and even if I did, I'd be the only one slacking off while the other members of my team are busy working on the data analysis itself*. Understand?
MPFRP: :<<<<
MPFRP: Okay...
Me: Thank you.
Five minutes later...
MPFRP: Done yet? :3333333
Me: *Headdesk*
Me: No!
MPFRP: k :<
Repeat some variation of those last four lines every ten minutes for the rest of the night and you'll know what I felt like.
*Okay, not completely true, considering they're popping off every so often to check on their fantasy football stuff, but that's irrelevant.
