(I'm moving this up here, so people don't have to read through my entire rant.  I'm catching up on blog posts.  I'll try to comment soon.  I want to preemptively apologize if I miss people, though.  I have about 500 unread posts... and I'm fairly distracted.)
I haven't been posting.  You haven't really missed much, I'm afraid.  I'm very whiny.  But to catch you up, here's my schedule:
Wake up
Go to Lab
Work
More Work
Eat
Yet More Work
Go Home
Eat
Work
Sleep
So, that's about it.  I have all these plans and ideas for balance that almost always get derailed. Take tonight, for instance.  Tonight I made plans to go with Dr. Man and friends to Trivia Night.  Sounds good, right?  Beer, trivia, friends.  It sounds like a nice break.  Except that the column I packed overnight leaked (yep, someone cracked a leur lock and "fixed" it with teflon tape-- so no one else would notice).  Then the second column I packed got knocked over (yeah, let's not go into that one).  So, that meant that I didn't get to run the first of three columns until 3:30pm.  Yeah, the first of three.  So, Dr. Man gets to go to Trivia Night and I get to be here in the lab.
See what you've missed by me not posting?
