A confession

[477150n]

When I'm working by myself and I get stuck, the best way to get unstuck is to pretend I'm in some Star Trek scenario. Like, I'm trapped on an enemy moon and everyone else is obliviously partying on the Enterprise, and I have to characterize the sample before the virus kills us all. Then I can usually figure out what to try next.

This is awesome. Thanks for confessing, it made me grin.

That is awesome. Have you ever watched Stargate SG-1? Samantha Carter is the bad-ass nerdy chick and she solved all their problems amazingly quickly. I wish I was that cool.

Ha ha... No, I haven't seen it. We're working on Deep Space Nine right now (so I just wish I was as cool as Miles O'Brien), but that's one we might check out next.
