So most likely I'm spending most of today writing this "End Report" to explain where I'm leaving things.  I'm basically transcribing my presentation I gave earlier, so it's easy, and the best part is that I've tried to take the pressure off myself... since even when I half-ass things it turns out better than expected, and I never REALLY half-ass ( Read more... )

Today topped 95 degrees... but now... there is a silent thunderstorm cooling things down. The rain patters and the lightning is lighting up the entire sky... but the thunder comes only every once in a while. ooo... like just now...

...at least i got one more Paris rainstorm.

I am constantly struggling through work this week, mainly due to a « greener grass syndrome ».  Right now all I want to do is to be somewhere else, be it on vaccation or even working or being in school.  This hiatus of 8-9 hours every day is frustrating beyond anything I can explain.  I am not here for the biology… I am here for the travel, the ( Read more... )

So I’ve been really lax of late with the posting.  I blame it on the turtles… yah, that’s it… evil internet turtles that decided to block my ability to post ( Read more... )

but there is officially NO way i can finish any of this project. I mean seriously. The only thing that got any results was a dinky side project I've been working on. I worked today from 9am-7:30pm and still am thinking about going back in half an hour to finish something so that i can save a day's schedule... bah ( Read more... )

Does anyone else feel guilty not going to work unless they have a temperature over 100 or are projectile vomitting? Cuz I sure do... I slept for over 3 hours today, and when I woke up I had a pain in the back of my neck, but none in the front half of my brain like all morning. My eyes were still tearing up though, and about 20 minutes after ( Read more... )

So this is my IM conversation with vinh this morning, right after I woke up with a splitting headache:

Zidane... WTF man, you're a member of FIFA not the WWE. You probably feel real proud that you just blew all of your class and lost the world cup. What are you going to do now? Go to EuroDisney?

No honking tonight... maybe I can get some sleep.

You wanna know what I did this week?  VIRTUALLY NOTHING when you look at the results... and WHY is there hardly anything to show for about 40 hours of hard work?  Oh yah... because SHE told me to use the wrong fucking plasmid, that's why. 

So... I just had a mini-meeting with my boss and well... I find it hard to be excited about my stupid little project here.  There is really no application of Leptospira for the most part... especially not iron transcription factors.  I try to show excitement about my B-gal assays, but seriously... whoop de do!  I learned this in INTRO bio.  Plus, I ( Read more... )
