| | I admit it, I'm totally bored.
Now granted, I don't want to go back to being totally busy either. This whole one large experiment per week thing totally works for me. The other days I can analyze data, catch up on etocs and reading, and generally be a good lab citizen.
However, today... today I am so bored! I have completely caught up on my etocs. I have organized my email. I have been sitting at home all day waiting for the freaking FedEx truck to come deliver my turducken and I'm totally bored with it! Seriously, if my turducken was loaded onto a truck approx 5 miles away, how has it taken over 7 hours for it to get here? And I could potentially be waiting another 3 hours. What a waste of my day! Not to mention I cancelled my two doctors appointments this morning because I thought the likelihood that a package put onto a truck 5 miles away arriving within 2 hours was very high. wrong!
So what's not boring? The month of crazy is over. 6 large experiments, a department retreat, and 2 Wed-Fri trips in the month of October. Whew, glad that's over. Halloween was fun. Dr. bf and I went as health care protesters. I was a devil with a picket sign and a "button" that said "Palin '12." Nothing scarier! Dr. bf was a redneck with a $3 Walmart shirt that said "America" and had a big eagle on it and a spiky blonde wig. He also had a picket sign. The reactions we got were hilarious. I figured in a city like New Haven it wasn't much of a gamble to have politically left wing costumes making fun of the right although Dr. bf said we got a couple dirty looks... I'm assuming they were from people who didn't get our sense of humor.
Also not boring, we'll go to see a play on Saturday, the following Saturday will be our Turducken party, the Saturday after that is the Yale-Harvard game, the weekend after that is Thanksgiving, the Saturday after that hopefully my good friend from Boston will come down for a hockey game. Whew!
See, I can deal with craziness on the weekends if the weekdays are chilled, or craziness on the weekdays if the weekends are chilled, just not craziness all week. October was all week crazy all month. Hopefully November will be crazy mostly on the weekends.
