Long time no write
Jun. 21st, 2004 08:51 amI'm out of the house, now. I left a bunch of shit behind - not shit, literally, but shit figuratively - that I couldn't get rid of because trash day had come and gone. We'll see if the new owner holds it against me. He's having people come to the house to clean. Ok, so he's allergic to cats, but don't you think you can clean your own house?!?
Whatever.
So I left the house in a state somewhat less than I wished to leave it, but there's nothing I can do about it now. Have to let it go. Otherwise, I'm not sure how I feel about all of this. It felt really good to move some of my things into Jeff's house. I felt badly about a lot of it, just because there's a lot of it. . . but having my chest of drawers and dresser and some other items of my own in his house made me feel a little more at home. Having my kitties there made it feel more real.
Of course, I had to turn around and come right back to Bton to house sit for my advisor and to work my ass off in the lab and at the house. I am closer to getting this cloning done - the one I've been fighting with for over a month - and I have to have to have to write this damned review. I also have to plant seeds for another experiment and play the ever-entertaining waiting game until the confocal microscope is fixed.
Even though I have the move done and out of the way, I'm still feeling very unsettled and, well, freaked out. Spending 30 minutes on the phone waiting for some help from Sprint didn't help, but that stuff seems to be all cleared up, now. All that's left is to get my rent refund and pay off the first $200 of repair receipts the new owner incurs on the house.
No word on the job. I think I need to call the headhunter and see what's up. I know pretty certainly that I want to go the IP route now, and I'd love to know that I am making progress in that direction.
Anyway, I really have to get my ass over to the bench. I'm getting started about an hour later than I hoped.
Whatever.
