It's weird to come back after a week off, only work four days, then head off to Vegas. I'm excited about that, odd to think that this time tomorrow I'll be on my way to the airport.

I got some good and bad news this week though. Good news is that I'm moving at work from the same place I've been for the past two years to the other lab where I've been spending most of my time anyway, and the head of the department is taking over some of my salary. Bad news is that I'm moving. It's a more private space, but I'll go from having a new computer (had this one since early Nov, after finally getting up the courage to ask for it) used only by me to sharing an old one used by a few other people. The new one will go to a new post-doc. And of course, there's the whole actual moving, which you might have noticed that I hate to do. But oh well. Such is life. I know I shouldn't spend all my free time on the computer, but it's a little galling to leave behind all the goodies I got on this one, and not be able to have my email open all the time and yada yada. I'm just a selfish brat, I know.

Whatever. I've got one suitcase packed for Vegas and will pack my carryon tonight, and hopefully get to fix Aunt Carol's VCR before I leave. Maybe I'll make some money. WIshful thinking, I know.

If I had a mood indicator on this entry, I'd say I was wistful.
