you're gonna go far, kid

~ Happy birthday, eckerlilas!

~ RIP, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick.

~ Dexter and Noodles of The Offspring did an in-studio at 94.5 today. ♥ the acoustic version of Come Out and Play. *sigh* Not coming to Houston on their tour this summer - Austin. On a weeknight that I can't make the trip. Which I totally would, because Alkaline Trio is their support. But it's two nights before the Indigo Girls' show at Stubb's (which I'm seeing with MrIris as a special date night), and I can't make that trip twice during one work-week.

~ THREE DAYS :D

~ U2 ticket presale for Reliant Stadium starts today. And Muse is opening for them. :DD


OK, I suppose I should go get some work done.

ETA: Forgive Durden's Razia's Shadow: The Tour @ JavaJazz 19May. Y/Y/Y?

really?

Dear Idiot,

I printed out a schedule with the days I'd be out of lab for YOUR edification. You were supposed to check with me to schedule that RBD assay (because you apparently can't do the fucking thing yourself) BEFORE you infected your cells in order to be sure that they'd be ready for the assay on a day that I wasn't either overbooked or absent.

Telling me today that you'll have cells for me to assay on Sunday? Means nothing. I will not be here on Sunday, and the cells can't be harvested and frozen for later analysis; the assay is finicky enough that it must be done immediately.

No, I'm not coming in just for this. I put in a leave request for this Friday-Monday weeks ago, and I'm going to be rocking out in New Orleans on Sunday.

It's really awesome that you wasted all that time and reagent simply because you can't follow directions, look at a calendar, and plan efficiently.

No love,
Me
