Presently killing time before I have to go set up my next experiment. I'm doing a competitive audit and our stuff didn't look so good. I'm re-running the experiment in a different enzyme mix to see if the results are the same. Oy. This could be a seriously shitty couple of weeks, depending on what kind of data I get.
On Tuesday, I had lunch with some R&D people who are usually out of my sphere of interaction. From them I learned some very unsettling information about company actions, some very sketchy misuse of the outsourcing process and the INS. Oy. Checked around, and no there still aren't any jobs I'd apply for. So I'm here trying to be as positive as possible. It's getting harder, though.
In an effort to cultivate the patience needed to refrain from killing upper management, I've started meditating again. This needs to be a regular practice, so get on my case if I don't seem to be holding up my end. Deal?
In other news, Christmas lights are going up. While I'm not a big fan of the whole Christmas phenomenon, I confess that I love seeing pretty colored lights along the houses. It pleases me, a little bit of beauty in an unexpected place. :)
Time to go. Ciao kids.

Can you do some funky experiments that involve making things go boom? And take pictures? Please?
