Tomorrow I shall conquer!

My only worry is talking to someone technically incompetent who cannot see my amazingness. (FASTA is described as a database not a format/software package on the job description. This makes me... nervous.)

I want this to happen. I want this to be a big change. I want this to be Science. More money is great, no lie, but ( Read more... )

My reverse psychology worked! Interview is scheduled.

So, replied to another head hunter for another job doing Proper Science. (And programming.) I'm supposed to hear back sometime this week, and I know it's only Monday, but I don't think I am going to hear back. I'm actually qualified for this one, too. They want C#, though. I don't really know C#. This time last week I knew none, but I've been in ( Read more... )

Sometimes I can overcome myself. Girl working at bar near work is actually pretty cute. I have been aware of this fact, but am actually considering a "pursuit". Am terrible at such things. Basically I win or I don't. How to tell difference between standard flirting with waitress and moving beyond?

There was someone else in my bed, not 20 minutes ago. This actually makes me feel kinda uncomfortable. My room has been space inviolable for the past few months, someone else being here (even briefly, for enjoyable reasons) doesn't seem quite right ( Read more... )

Computational Science and Engineering - University of Oslo
Modelling and Data Analysis - University of Oslo
Molecular Medicine - Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU, in Trondheim)
Human biological ( Read more... )

So, I've been having a particular theme recurring my dreams the past few weeks. A smaller portion of the overall dream, but annoyingly present. That theme is, roughly, botfly larva. Though rather than the fat looking grubs seen there, these are longer and more worm-like. I try to squeeze them out, and then grab and pull. I can feel them wriggling ( Read more... )

Haven't slept yet, but I've figured out a bunch of stuff for work. If I stay up all night doing work things, that means I don't have to go in for the morning, right?

Right?

Dad: "What're you doing for exercise? Sitting a desk all day certainly isn't doing anything for that little beer belly you got going last time you were home. You should go out and do things outdoors!"

TonightMe:  "Had to actually bum a ride from my roommate to go pick up my car rather than just riding my bike up there like I ( Read more... )
