Laboratory is silent.
Me: *staring at lines and lines and lines of sequences on several monitors, surrounded by coffee cups, energy drink cans, and boxes of Sudafed*
Labmate: *working on a really important experiment so she can finish a paper and fucking graduate*
Labmate: ... SPRING BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!
Me: SPRING BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK YEEEEEEEEEEEEAHRG!!!
Labmate: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHRG!!!
Laboratory is silent again.

This is prompted by two emails. Both from good friends. Email #1 is from a friend who got Shingles, I think - (hope you get better, we'll all drink to your health Saturday during food-orgy ... I mean bookclub). The second email I received yesterday from a friend down in NYC asking me if I was still…
Another in my marathon posts, but! To a new city, Rotterdam. Which is indeed a fairly new city, having been bombed to buggery (by us, mostly, I presume [update: no, I'm wrong, it was the Krauts]) during WW II. Anyway, TL:DR: 3:55:53. Which is one second slower than Amsterdam 2012.

The student, of Stanley, County Durham, was taken to the…
Security at my lab really don't like you coming in during bank (public) holidays. It makes extra work for them. And none of the support staff are around. I quite like being forced to stay away.
And because Prince William is getting married, we all get an extra day off! Hooray for the monarchy...
Weird, at my uni (in Ontario), we maybe have a couple less 4th year students during Reading Week (spring break). Some techs take the week off when the elementary and high schools are on break. Otherwise, everything continues as normal.
ERV, why stare at lines and lines of sequences? I mean, I understand you have to analyse your sequence data, but why do it by eyeball?
Ben: "...there's way too much information to decode the Matrix. You get used to it. I...I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead."
Would you trust a computer to drive your car?
Well I don't trust it with my data.
(Srsly, you gotta check the traces as they come off the machine. The software's getting better, but it still makes mistakes. I don't know that this is what Abbie's doing with hers of course.)
