So, the joy from the co-worker thing has blown over, and I'm coming to terms with the idea that my department has swapped a couple people around (counting on the idea that my co-worker would never pull the pin), and in a few months I'm going to be the only person with any significant experience - meaning I'll be filling in and training people constantly. Well, on the bright side I'm unlikely to be fired, although I'm a little concerned with the fact they aren't backfilling that spot.

I'm strongly considering taking a job my ex-BIL offered, two-and-two in either PA or LA.

I read that is ex-boss in-law. A minute later I wondered how that would work.

Tomorrow is my son's birthday, and he has the day off for President's Day. Pedro is taking a vacation day, and we were going to take a family trip to a cool science museum.

Now I have conjunctivitis in both eyes.

I got your natural gas, buddy.

then stay away from here because there is a big initiative to keep a drilling operation alive.  i have a feeling you'd like to keep your natural gas well un-drilled.

...more or less play the role of Miss Sweetie Poo and get to make a winner of the Ig Nobel prize stop talking after five minutes.

I didn't get to actually say "Please stop, I'm bored" because they could not have known that a random volunteer from the audience like myself has spent most of her life wanting to get up when other people are talking and say "Please stop, I'm bored" over and over. Instead I had to make an annoying noise with a pen on a glass.

AND, I was wearing "What We Need More of is Science."

I just now watched this video.  Well, it's about a quarter of the way in actually.  So you weren't actually at this show, but you were at a lecture by an Ig Nobel prize winner?

They do road shows at science conferences. This one was at the AAAS meeting. There was a guy who hadn't been to the ceremony two years ago to pick up his prize, so they gave it to him, and there were also a couple of lectures by people who had published in the magazine.

The award was for a study showing that bearded scientists working in a microbiology lab were at risk of carrying dangerous microbes home in their beards.

I went to a diner at 3 AM and ate 4 sliders. After 4, I realized the other 2 looked like puke, and stopped eating. They were tiny hamburgers, but on normal-sized buns. For some reason that made them seem extra gross.

The ketchup was a store brand of Hunt's ketchup. Kurtz. NOT EVEN HUNTS.

also, I buzzed my hair down to 1/4 inch, and it hurt my head so damn much. I should have realized these clippers sucked early in the process, instead of just standing there buzzing my hair for 2 hours.

Dan, don't eat things that look like puke, and check your foodstuffs for similarity to puke before tucking in.
