chick, woot doesn't ship to Alaska anyway.

d@mn the luck. well at least steapandcheap does. though i was excited about the woot wine thing. i can never get good wine here.

You probably should just move to Florida. It's legal to ship here, _and_ we have our own wineries too! Which make wines like Category 5 Sangria!

I FINALLY got the call from the bee lab! I have an interview the week of Aug 20th! Wahoo! I was starting to get really bummed about not hearing anything. They were very enthusiastic about my coming for an interview. Whew! Now - to prepare the seminar. We've been having major morale issues here lately - this definitely help improve my mood.

Congratulations! That sure took a long time! Now you have plenty of time to get nervous. Did grad student hear from them?

Anticipation always gets the best of me, too. Postdoc didn't hear anything, as far as I know.


Snap - I've been in a blah mood all week, too. I think mine was a combo of coming back from gorgeous St. John's, not hearing about the interview (that ended today at least), and the crap going on at work. Everyone is constantly complaining about a few major events. Constantly. It wears on you after a while. I have been saying for 3 days that I was going to get out and run. Never did. Tomorrow morning - I ride! A good long ride!

FishJr is sitting on the floor next to me (protesting cleaning her room) and is making grumbling noises. That's her stomach growling because she "starving". The drama!

I'm having a good week at work. Almost halfway through my 13 day stretch. I forgot what my bike looks like...I renamed my student Napoleon Dynamite and constantly make him say things like "Yessssssss" and "Do the chickens have large talons?" I even make him perform for others. I think he is sort of insulted- he thinks ND is dumb. I don't think of ND as dumb- just odd and laid back. Definitely not dumb. Oh- this is because he talks EXACTLY like ND.

New radiologists starting again Monday- who will know nothing. I will miss the outgoing two- the one who is like the new chick on Reno 911, Mary Birdsong, and the guy that I faked blood poisoning on. Hopefully the two new ones will be as much fun. I also get a new student.

Sounding like rain out there- we were going to try to get the OTHER bike out for a ride- haven't had it out since Saturday. I want to try out my helmet!

I had a rare sighting of Russell Jr. tonight. Like half an inch of his head. (Glass lizard- lives underground- I see him once every few months, but continue to feed crickets on the hopes that he's in there somewhere...)

I think Cracker Chicken, our young Gopher Tortoise, has moved away. We are extremely sad about this. He never even said godbye. (He moved outside full time this spring, and dug a burrow, and lived in it happily for several months before moving on to greener pastures. We haven't seen him since around July 4th, and his burrow appears to be abandonned.)

Definitely raining.
