Oh dear lord, is it happy hour yet?
Our lab has plans to hit the terrace around 5PM today. I've got my sunscreen and a distinct desire for beer and lake.
I've spent the morning online, lobbing e-mails back and forth and receiving phone calls, helping out to coordinate the visit of a Nobel Prize winner to UW. I try to imagine that this is a taste of what public relations is like, and it's pretty exhausting. Taking the desires of a minimum of 3 different parties and making them fit into a 3-day schedule is . . . challenging.
I really just want this time to work on my project and get ready for seminar on May 10. This is the big seminar in front of the students and faculty of my graduate program, and I want it to be good and I want to have it polished. But between this visit, wrapping up old projects, working on new ones, and trying to sleep enough. . . it's not working out so well. I will escape soon to my bench to hammer these things out. Craziness
Some things that have made life easier:
This is an awesome video of Humbolt squid, which do attack and eat humans. It's a creepy video
This is just plain cute, all the time. It makes me happy
