Where do YOU belong?
Well, there you have it, you’re a legitimate Gryffindor. What more is there to say…you’re brave and chivalrous and an all around spiffy kind of individual. Ummm…Harry Potter’s in your house, that’s gotta be good right?

aww, shucks, Lammy. Guess what, I”m online RIGHT NOW!

And I set up a differentiation sequence all by my lonesome today 🙂 sigh. I think they will start me on something new soon so I don’t have to sit around and attempt to look busy all day. And apparently there are some high school minority students coming by the lab (for a week? for the summer? I don’t know) and I’m going to have to show this girl around. That will be interesting.

Oh moll, thanks for linking this site….I love goodies

It IS a big deal Jen. You survived being 21 and able to drink. 😉

Yup I would totally go with you if I could. 🙁 Do we have to live so far away? Sorry I missed you again. We really need to set a date to both be online. I’ve been coming on earlier than usual.

Lol. Anybody want to go to a DMB or John Mayer concert with me? Lammy, I know you’d go, if only you were here in town….

There’s a Sense Field concert tonight (!) that I never heard about, and I’d love to go (you know they have that really great song, Save Yourself? But I don’t have anyone to go with and I’m sure my parents will say no.

And that DMB concert? I (stupidly, now that I think of it) ordered the ticket for my birthday night. Oh well. Hopefully one of my friends can go with me. I won’t get to go out for a birthday dinner… course, turning 22 isn’t all that big of a deal. I guess the next big one is when I’m 25 and can rent a car with no problem… but the next one (gulp!) would be my 30th! Good lord, at the end of my third decade. I’m not morbid or anything.

I just hope it works out. And I wonder what my parents would say if I asked them about the concert. Sigh.

Oh yes, good book of the week. The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass. It started off slow but really hooks you by the end. And there’s another five books in the series. I can’t wait.

Me out.

Oh right, to make this a blog, here’s a link: http://www.cgiscript.net/site_special.htm

oh grr. I hate windows. This program has performed an illegal action and will be shut down, and take all of your post with it. sigh.

Lammy, I won’t be on later. The lab’s not open on friday nights. Only weird people like me want to do work then. I’m just a computer nerd, I guess.

So, what I was blathering about before was that work is hard. I wish I knew what I was doing RIGHT NOW. And I really don’t. I feel confused and inept and rather useless. The people at the lab are being nice to me, but there are at least two doctors (aside from the doctor that I actually work for) and when you’re that smart it is really hard to deal with inexperienced peons like me. At least my cells aren’t dead.

I realize that I have to learn it all before I can really feel confident, but jeez, I thought I had gotten out of the “I have absolutely NO idea what I’m supposed to be doing” phase once I finished college. Apparently not. This is a steep learning curve, and I wish it would be faster. Sigh.

On the upside, I feel tall, because everyone in the lab (minus one woman) is Asian, so I practically tower over them. Even the non-Asian. Well, not practically tower, but they can’t look down on me. Which isn’t the greatest thing in the world. I don’t really want to be tall there.

I miss ethernet, and I miss my weekends. If I’m lucky it looks like I’ll get one day off. Sigh.

I’ll stop whining now. Why don’t you comment?

I miss you too, Lammy. But it’s next friday that the bill is due. So I can’t go online at home till then. But I’ll be on later tonight as I’m supposed to be working at the computer lab… so try then….

An old (aka the first one, I think) Friday Five ’cause Heather is busy (aka the girl who compiles ’em all):

1. Where were you born (city or state or just country)? St. Louis, MO

2. What is your favorite number? 27.

3. Vanilla or chocolate? Used to be vanilla. Now it’s chocolate. Sometimes. Not really. I’m a strawberry girl myself.

4. What section of a bookstore would I find you in? Fantasy! occasionally technology/science and sometimes the romance section

5. What kind of mattress do you have on your bed? soft? firm? water? firm-ish. Not saggy, but not without bounce.

Don’t you love learning about me?

I hope you come back online soon my dear friend. I miss you! Its almost Friday so I’m going to hold out a bit longer. 😉
