Your own personal poltergeist.

Today, I:

1. got up late
2. drank stale coffee (yes, yes it was nasty and I am an addict don'tyoujudgeme)
3. locked myself out of the house
4. failed to wake up my housemate by phoning four times, despite the fact that she was also running late and requires two alarms and a knock from me to get up most mornings.
5. Got car grease all over my favorite gym sweatshirt fetching my spare set of car keys.
6. I poured a large 8 molar urea gel and had it leak all over the counter.
7. I used the wrong layer of a biphasic reagent

Despite this, I:
8. have not yet done anything wretched to my experiments that hasn't been recoverable (fixed leak and topped off gel, which ended up without bubbles yay!)
9. Seem to have set up the gel *running* apparatus correctly, the first time, for the first time.
10. Made huge, huge quantities of the stuff I've been prepping for two days.

ETA: I just spilled liquid all over my shoe. I like these shoes, too. I think it was only water, though. At worst it was a little buffer.


Okay, but here's the upside to this day: synecdochic and ivorygates took prompts for comment fic and wrote some amazing stuff. AMAZING. There is a Cam/Teal'c there that I have open and will read really soon, I don't care if I'm at work. But IvoryGates not only wrote a Jack/Daniel that is amazingly accurate in the hitting of Every Single Angsty Jack/Daniel button, but also points out that JACK O'NEILL OWNS A KAYAK.

My love knows no bounds, Jack. Single Vertical Line, Man. Single. Vertical. Line.

Oh no! I hope the liquid was only water (or a little buffer). I so have a pair of favorite pants that are only barely fit for around the house after a run in with chem lab....

I hope this means the rest of your day will be AWESOME.

I totally want this day to be *done*, but it's freaking hot outside (NOT KIDDING, it's 83 degrees = 28C) and I'm locked out of my house and I really shouldn't go buy chocolate and my housemate won't be home to unlock the house for me until 6. *pout*

*curls up*

I don't even have any other bits of busy work I could do. Maybe I should go to the gym and take it out on the nice elliptical trainers.

Ugh and double ugh!

You totally deserve chococolate!

(you could write fic? read fic? go to the beach? get more chocolate?)

*hugs*

I ended up opting for reading fic and walking along the bluffs. Yippee!

I do have beta comments back on a draft. I'm just... waiting for the weekend, maybe.

It wasn't necessarily *bad*, it was just really really bipolar. Wierd. I might blame some of the stupid mistakes on lack of sleep, though, as I stayed up late reading Temeraire 4 the night before.

Got lots of sleep last night, though, so that helps. Sleep wins, man.

Aren't those two a force to be reckoned with? I shudder to think what would happen if they used their powers for evil, seriously.

I think this has been so many folks experience of this week. Odd how it comes and goes like that. Strange universe we live in.

Sleep is a good thing.

As for those two, hee! they aren't of an evil nature which is all of hte good. :)
