So what did you do today.

I keep trying to convince her of that (particularly as I get up at ~6-7am in that range, so if she gets up around then as well it's more time with her than if she is later). However, the idea of waking her up at 6am is very scary...

She does 180 day timepoints (and of course all throughout the time, like 7 or 8 time points)... very annoying, and she does huge Flo cytometry things (96 to 192 tubes with >5m data points collected), and half the time the Flo machine breaks (though they bought a second LSRII machine, her favorite, so that will help some when they get it tweaked JUST right)... she finishes staining at 10pm and gets home at 6am usually

BTW, if you ever come to a conference in the States, let me know ... she goes to at least one a year, usually a Keystone conference when possible (skiing ) but sometimes a different one. Not entirely impossible she'd be at the same one and we could have a mini-polymeet if I can convince her to let me come along

I farted so loudly that car alarms went off.

I'm a Ph.D student and he's a post-doc. IMAGINE WHAT FUN OUR SCHEDULES ARE.

What's he a post-doc in? If it's anything but computer science you should dump him.

Why would anyone sane want to post-doc in CompSci?

CompSci decision tree once PhD is earned (Industry vs PostDoc):
(Make huge pile of money) vs (Bore people at parties)

Biology decision tree:
(Make pretty good money) vs (Save the World)

Physics decision tree:
(Make pretty good money) vs (Destroy the World)

Okay, it's 8:15 p.m. in my part of the world and I'm installing my tax software. I've got a mug of hot chocolate beside me and some "Enya" playing in the background. Near my right hand is a pile of all the tax related documents I've collected so far.

(And also for some reason a card of unknown origin with SPELLFIRE on one side, and a picture of something on the other with the caption "Azalin" and a signature across the front. "Stephen E. Jabina" or something. Weird.)

Let's see how long it takes me to get this done. I'm expecting it to be a pretty low-pressure exercise.

10.47am - contemplating doing some work.

Or going to look for a new mobile phone.

I'm done doing tax returns today. Tomorrow I'll be pretty busy. I might be working until midnight. I'll get a lot of sleep tonight.

[Jon Miller]

Decided to sleep in a couple hours, than surfed the web, went in to work by noon though.

Waited to talk to people for a bit (working 'sorta'). Than spent several hours talking to people until 5. Have a lot of sutff I need to prepare for Thursday collaboration meeting.
Prepared some slides (as drafts, but probably will be presented anyways).

It is 9 pm, food is cooking (by cooking I mean being microwaved). I would like to exercise, I really should work another 5+ hours.

It's 9:47 p.m. as I type this and I'm finished with taxes. The forms are all completed, I've got a copy for my own records, and they're sitting in their addressed envelopes waiting to be put in the mails.

I'm not sure exactly how much postage I needed (each envelope only has about three or four sheets of paper in it) so just to be safe I doubled the amount of stamps I normally put on it. There's no way it's going to be short of postage.

All in all, the process took about an hour and a half. It would have been shorter if I had a certain form on hand. As it was I was able to deduce the figure I needed from my own check book records. Also, about half an hour was spent downloading updates to the tax software.

I'm going to play some Rise of Nations now.

Woke up around 9 today. Had an email exchange with a potential employer that resulted in the scheduling of an interview for tomorrow. Played some Final Fantasy VIII for nostalgia's sake. Checked up on the latest D&D 4e discussions. Watched Friday's BSG. Checked the mail - got a letter from the evil bestfriend in New Zealand. Walked to my parents' house and delivered a check for two months worth of car insurance and cell phone bills. Came home. Ate dinner. Got an IM from my ex-girlfriend, who's having some pretty serious boy troubles and wants my help - don't know how to feel about that. Watched the Season 5 premiere of The Sopranos. Made this post.

Teh evil bestfriend doesn't sound so evil after lending you money from New Zealand.

[Lancer]

Called my accountant demanding that my taxes be done on time.

Today I told myself I would study, and I have yet to start.

And I REALLY suck at poker lately
