amethyst73Huh. I wonder if I'll ever have a period in this job when I'm not stupidly busy?
This week's description of busy goes about like this.
Monday: Drive to Lawrence Berkeley National Labs on Monday. Streak out 74 different clones. Preparation and streaking takes all day, some hours longer than I had anticipated.
Tuesday: Sit around for a while waiting for contact at LBNL to call me and let me know if all my plates grew. Around 9:45, give up and drive to Stanford.. partway there, receive call letting me know I need to come. Take BART to and from LBNL. Total transportation time roughly 2 hrs each way, but at least I get to zone for part of it. Restreak a bunch of stuff. Find out that I don't have to go to Berkeley tomorrow!
Wednesday: I'm sure I'll find some way of keeping myself occupied.
Thursday: Drive self and labmates down to Monterey for the MCP Department Retreat. Listen to science talks in Monterey for a couple of days. Drive back Saturday.
Sunday: Collapse.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and indeterminate later parts of the week: Drive to Berkely to do more work there.

You know your brain is tired when you can't decide whether the past tense of "streak" is "struck" or "stroke." The huz thinks it's "strought": if the past tense of seek is sought, then the past tense of streak should be strought, right?
