asimplechordFirst thing this morning was lab meeting. Excruciatingly boring. Poke-my-eyes-out levels. The Chief even wanted to get up and leave.
Yesterday's work-related rant was muted by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
why_me_why_not's happy-making post and by a) constant reminders that it was Hotass Brothers Day (which ended up being *such* a disppointment), b) only one day remained until the Gym Class Heroes show (YAY!), and c) the appearance of this month's AP, complete with Rise Against interview.
I'm mostly over it. Mostly. But the day is young.
To let you know the level of yesterday's stupidity, I'm just going to ask you science-type people one question: if I told you to use isobutanol from a bottle containing a settled mixture of water and isobutanol, which layer would you take, the upper or lower?
Uh-huh. The Idiot was not clear on whether hydrocarbons were more or less dense than water, and was choosing the wrong layer. For making gels. Which he made wrong. Twice. Because apparently the label "1.5M Tris pH 8.8" really means "1.5M Tris + 20% SDS". Really.
So. TONIGHT, I AM GOING TO HAVE DRINKS AT ABSINTHE, AND LISTEN TO THE GYM CLASS HEROES, AND NOT THINK ABOUT WORK EXCEPT TO BE GRATEFUL I HAVE A JOB AND I'VE GOT THE WEEKEND OFF.
*smirk*
Is it wrong that my first thought upon receiving Ticketmaster's weekend ticketing notice is that Metro Station's tour title is possibly the least accurate thing ever? "One Hot Night In November"? If it's not sold out the day-of, I might go just to laugh at their skeeze.
