Today! I am grateful for
1. Microscopes! I took some really neat images today. Not sure we're going to get any interesting results out of this experiment, but it's possible the knockout sample wasn't a knockout, so maybe if we get a new one things will be more exciting... anyway, I took some really pretty pictures, regardless of the implications, and it was fun. I should post a wild-type one at some point...
2. The cafe in our building. It has terrible selection and the warm sandwiches are too small and way overpriced. BUT it always has yogurt with blueberries, and it almost always has fresh bananas and oranges, and sometimes the soup is pretty good. And because of that, I've been eating pretty healthy lunches for the last several months.
3. The damn cat. She's cute and entertaining. We played throw-the-mouse tonight. She was adorable. Except for the part where I lifted up the super heavy couch to retrieve a mouse, and she went under it and refused to come out, and I was afraid I was going to give out and crush her. But then she came out and everything was fine. I know - cool story, bro.
Gonna be a long day at work tomorrow - we have an all-day experiment planned, AND our mouse room is being inspected first thing Wednesday morning, so I'm in charge of making sure it looks perfect, and I don't know how I'm going to do both things in a single day. Oh right. I'm just not going to come home before dinner. Le sigh.
I am grateful for a job in which I do not do the same thing every day...
I am grateful for a job which challenges me.
I'm grateful for coworkers who are pleasant to be around.
There. Six things today, without even trying. Not bad for a Monday!
