Since I last posted (April, Merlin's beard), so much good has happened. I've found my niche in my job (not as in, "I've made lots of friends," but rather, "I've become accustomed to working alone."), our homebrewing has taken off and is yielding great results, friends and family have gotten married, announced pregnancies, and bought homes.

Tried to join in to a conversation across cubes today. Didn't work. Feel like an goddamn idiot. Wish I could disappear.

Most likely, it will end in the spinning off of three companies, one each for ag, biosciences, and materials ( Read more... )

We traveled there the last week of September, partly for Pack Expo and partly for our mini-moon. I feel like it actually created more work for me, in terms of school and the house, but it was cool to experience an environment completely unlike anything I'd seen before. The heat was so intense, and it's not even that hot there right now. It was so ( Read more... )

I have to write about things before I forget about them because what they said is true - it all flies by ( Read more... )

Am I done? I feel kinda done ( Read more... )
