your cheating heart

This happened awhile ago, but I came across the paper while cleaning, and it still makes me laugh. As backstory, the test involved trying to identify common Labs equipment: beakers, Bunsen burner, and some forceps & crucible tongs.The last two items are what caused the trouble for this pair. The small tweezers (or forceps) were identified as... well see for yourself.. . And the larger crucible tongs... so much delight...

21.28mph

This is ricky rolling down the pathway at o'melvany park. It's a nice half-mile long strip with a steady steep drop. It was nice to see him actually enjoying biking more; he ended up doing the run three times. On one of the runs, he carried the phone and recorded his speed with MyTracks, just like dad.

One Week!

Well, except for finishing a bar of chocolate last week, I haven't had any cakes or sweets for a week.  I haven't been craving them, but I certainly don't feel any better either.  I have been having my usual toast and jam for breakfast, so I think I'll switch that to toast and eggs next week.

Toxic work environment

    I decided to stop eating pastries for February.  Probably the best thing about growing up Catholic is a fondness for self-denial.  And the delight of giving in to temptation.

   One problem is my work serves as a dumping ground for desserts.  Literally every day is a new pile of food, usually brought in by my very nice lab techs who delight in seeing everyone eat.  Eat!  It's Good!  Try it!  Today was Chinese New Year leftovers, and a bucket of chocolate chip cookies, valentine chalky candies, and pretzels.  It makes me sympathize with those who diet more seriously; you can say no nineteen times, but the one yes a day can ruin it all.

   And on another note, our campus wireless network is either 1) slow (1mbs) and you have to keep logging in every time you wake up your phone, or 2) faster (8 mbs, with 19 mbs upload!) but impossible to stay logged into.  I then realized that my T-mobile connection was rated at 7.5 mbs, which means I'm almost at the point that I don't need IT at all.  The only service they provide is the ethernet connection, which is more reliable than the 3G network.

Friday skiing

Went up early to mountain high again yesterday. I only skied until noon ish this time, I started to feel kind of tired. I did manage to do 45mph this time, along with a few wrecks.
I'm currently surrounded by 148 exams. I really should have spent friday working...
