DIAF, WORK

I was supposed to go to Austin to see Girl In A Coma tonight, but everyfuckingthing at work conspired against me. Someone horned in on my TC time, a piece of equipment malfunctioned, Post-Doc W had some issues, and then another colleague wouldn't take my word for it that it would be faster if she just let me collect the data for her this first time rather than spending over an hour showing and re-showing her how to use another instrument (which really is not that complicated).

I finally escaped from the building at ~7:15. I got to my car by 7:40. Doors were supposed to open at 8pm.

Fuck work. For SXSW I'm taking vacation days, none of this I'll-get-out-of-work-early bullshit.


So instead I am at home. I have a bottle of cider open, and if A wants anything more complicated than a veggie burger, he's going to have to make it himself.

Boo. :(

Would more story help? (I'm asking for purely selfish reasons; I need encouragement to finish.)

YES. I happily imagined Walt with the long hair from that pic on my drive home. Ray likes to tug on it, y/n?

So much yes! That picture is such a happy place. I love the long hair.

It is shiny and pretty, and it makes his cheekbones look that much sharper.

He is shiny and pretty and I'm a little in love. *happy sigh*

Boo. I'm sorry.

TY, BB. I'm mostly just annoyed b/c I deliberately planned an experiment that would have me out of lab before five, so I could make the three hour drive in time. *sigh* Next time.

Well, it was sold out anyway. I'm so sad I didn't get to go. I have had no Jenn Alva at all so far in 2011. This is unacceptable.

I am just cranky that work fucked my evening plans. WANT GIAC. D:

We drank and watched Animaniacs :)

Also a perfectly acceptable way to spend an evening! :D

Eeack. I hate days like that. Had one myself this week. Never fails when you have somewhere to be...

Yeah, I think any other Friday I'd've been out of there with time to spare, but because I had plans...

How has work been, since the reorganization/rehiring?

Actually it has been the same. Still not seen anyone from the new owners, other than the orientation guy twice. So the same people running it, the same old same old, just with less people.

They did bring back a few more people, and one ornery one.
