back to work

Started back in my doctoral lab for a short-term postdoc position yesterday. Granted PI still wants me to stay forever, and that is going to keep being a hazard, it's pretty damned great to be finishing my projects for publication and making a lot more money than the grad stipend. I have time to look for proper postdocs in labs I really want to work in, and I'm continuing to do so as none have panned out too well so far. Meeting new people at a conference, and fingers crossed for interviews, next month!

I'm still a bit dehydrated from Wednesday's road trip to Mt. Rainier, which is being annoying as I can't drink in the lab and haven't grown back my drink-tons-at-meals habit yet.

Eventually got back to sleep after waking way WAY too early this morning, then woke up to Cut Copy followed directly by New Order's "Temptation", so spent breakfast feeling loopy but blissful. And today? Time lapse, laser ablation, and future plans. Weird to be back, but highly satisfying.

In other news, I kind of want to have Chris Hadfield's babies: https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3ACmdr_Hadfield%20until%3A2013-03-28
