Monday was definitely Monday

:( The sample elevator in the Cs source is still non-functional. The repair company had not even scheduled their visit when I called Radiation Safety this afternoon, so two of my three experiments are trashed. I re-worked the third one, so I can do something else with those samples. Yay, I guess. The Chief will not be amused to hear this quand il revient.

:( Why aren't Something Corporate coming to Houston? There's an empty day between Dallas and their last Florida date! (Yes, I realize they need to travel. *sigh*)

:) The bartender at happy hour needed to check some bottles of Amarone - someone stored them in the 'fridge, rather than the wine cooler or the room-temp shelf, and he was worried that they were corked - so instead of the normal house red, tonight's wine was AMAZING.

:) Also, risotto.

:) ( I am still ridiculously amused by this photo )

:( A friend is having a party and Say Anything/Angels & Airwaves are at HOB tomorrow, but I think I have to bail on both, b/c I need to pack a bag and take care of some other errands.

:DDDD vic_ramsey and I leave Wednesday night for NYC. We are going to see Butch Walker and American Idiot and harriet_vane and other fanppl (wordsalone? danacias?). I am going to see Magna Carta. MAGNA CARTA. *flails incoherently for a few minutes* And there are a couple of Picasso exhibits happening, plus some other stuff.

I am excited. Just a little bit. OK, that's a massive understatement. I AM GLEEFUL, OK? Didn't I tell you that I'd cry travel to see Butch Walker if he didn't come to TX on this tour? Plus, AI. Gimme that Tony Vincent and John Gallagher Jr and SSands!
