I’m not mad! I’m ANGRY! I’m an ANGRY SCIENTIST!

reference? anyone? kind of obscure.

I am emotionally and physically drained, yo.

This morning I had a committee meeting. Not just any committee meeting. THEEE committee meeting. Where there is no presentation of data. There is just an outline:

1. this is what I have done

signs

on a billboard on my way to work:

“Do you believe in love at first zip?”

-Earthlink

doesn’t that seem a little dirty for an ISP advertisement?

On a door I pass on my way to the pop machines:

“Please do not open this door. Doing so will compromise our experiments.”

Really? What are [...]

And [...]

“Sure my lord. My mother cried. But then there was a star danced. And under that was I born. ”

Happy Birthday to me!
