(I’m moving this up here, so people don’t have to read through my entire rant. I’m catching up on blog posts. I’ll try to comment soon. I want to preemptively apologize if I miss people, though. I have about 500 unread posts… and I’m fairly distracted.)
I haven’t been posting. You haven’t really missed much, I’m afraid. I’m very whiny. But to catch you up, here’s my schedule:
Wake up
Go to Lab
Work
More Work
Eat
Yet More Work
Go Home
Eat
Work
Sleep
So, that’s about it. I have all these plans and ideas for balance that almost always get derailed. Take tonight, for instance. Tonight I made plans to go with Dr. Man and friends to Trivia Night. Sounds good, right? Beer, trivia, friends. It sounds like a nice break. Except that the column I packed overnight leaked (yep, someone cracked a leur lock and “fixed” it with teflon tape– so no one else would notice). Then the second column I packed got knocked over (yeah, let’s not go into that one). So, that meant that I didn’t get to run the first of three columns until 3:30pm. Yeah, the first of three. So, Dr. Man gets to go to Trivia Night and I get to be here in the lab.
See what you’ve missed by me not posting?
oh, I am so sorry. The columns sound like a story on their own…..
hope it gets better and not as hectic! and good luck with the columns (maybe trivia next week?)

You don't need me to tell you this b/c you know. The 'home stretch' is tough. And exhausting. Not to mention Murphy's law seems to hit full force.
Sometimes science screws you over, but take a little time for yourself when you can find it.
Good luck!!
I always sing that song from Finding Nemo- 'just keep swimming, just keep swimming…'
Sorry to hear you had to skip Trivia though- hopefully things will ease up and be back in balance soon!
Ugh. I hope things swing back your way and you manage to squeeze in some leisure time soon.
I hate columns…. the one I've been trying to get to work for 4 months FINALLLY worked today. So there is hope š
Argh, I'm sorry. Hope you get a chance for a night or even day off soon.
very good!
