so here's the deal

So right now, in addition to being mildly, or perhaps significantly, intoxicated, i think I can be quite honest, if a little more emotional than normal. I just got back from spending a few hours in coventry with jeff marsey, and had a fantastic time, throwing darts, drinking beers, talking about harry potter and friends in movies and whatnot. I had a great time. He's going to work at the shop at great lakes tomorrow and it makes me want to work there instead of where i work now, which for the past 3 or 4 weeks has been like hell--super busy to the point that i take 20 or 30 minute lunch breaks and leave half-an-hour late many, or maybe even most days. I really liked working there--GLTF, I mean--it was something i loved to do, something that made me happy, even though I might not have been using the full capacity of my "scientific training." Theater is worthwhile. It is important. It is rewarding. It is many things that chemistry (or the lame work I do right now that might qualify as chemistry ) is not. For one, theater is fun. What I do right now at work is absolutely not fun. Titrations suck my ass. It's a good thing I had an interview at Case on Monday in the Biochem dept. for a research job with a prof. who does x-ray crystallographic structure determination for proteins like beta-lactamase and inhibitor molecules that go along with it. (just so you know, i'm kind of proud that I can spell all those words right now. Hooray for me.) My boss and everyone at work isn't going to like it if I get this Case job...but that's okay. I like the people at Taskem. The work I do there (and, frankly, the whole industrial scene) just isn't my cup of tea. It's so repetitive/boring/lame/monotonous/redundant/repetitive. (wink) Anyway, this is my post for the night. Take it or leave it.

Also, I don't have a date for Friday night, like I had thought i might--Michigan is a little far to go for a date. But we'll see how that goes. I suppose I'll keep you 'posted'....Goodnight from drunk old me.
