People ain't all bad

So I just spent 20 minutes standing next to my car in the middle lane of a fairly busy intersection. I was just pulling out of Micky-Dees when my car died. Again. I just paid $200 so that this wouldn't happen again, but apparently fixed only part (if any) of the real problem. So there I am, in direct 95+ degree sun eating a celebratory Big Mac

Congrats! You and Jason are leaving me behind.
So what's next for you?

Vacation with my woman. :) As for jobs, who knows? I'm writing my defense talk this week, practicing next week, and defending the week after that. Then corrections and job hunting. Wedding likely next spring. Beyond that I don't know.

I hear you're in a bind with space again. It sucks getting shuffled all over! Have you started writing yet?

A vacation sounds good right about now.

I have started to write, but am still knee deep in data collection. The problem with chemistry is it is so time-consuming. Everything occurs over hours and days.

I have a hard deadline to vacate my space in Purdue in August, so in many ways that is good. I find I do much better with firm deadlines than an open-ended timeline.

If you wanna get married next spring, you better start cracking on the prep work. It is all consuming, even for a tiny affair, like ours.

Congratulations, and commiserations I suppose :)
