Argh, that sucks, Stewriffic. Hope it clears up soon.

Me, I'm looking out the window at the snow falling. Snow that I had no idea was going to happen today. About to go do surgeries, and then have the afternoon open to submit a paper that I've been working on for oh, about a year to a journal that will probably reject it the first time around. Sigh.

Also, am being headhunted/recruited for a job that looks crazy good, that I feel seriously underqualified for, but they seem enthusiastic about me. Still feeling my way, learning about what it would entail (biggest sticking point - quite a bit of travel) but a wonderful career opportunity. Oh, another sticking point: it would be working for a pharmaceutical company. Yep. Gaspode the BigPharma sellout. We will see. man, if I took it I would go from someone who tests on animals to a pharm company shill. it's a wonder any of you talk to me

Gaspode, I take a monoclonal antibody made from sweet little mousies, so I can not condemn you. :((

I had a weird sleep last night.
I had a weird job interview yesterday.

Beautiful sunny day here in the middle of England, and it's warm enough that I don't need a coat when I go out. I'm trying to reconcile working on the laptop with enjoying the sunshine as much as possible. So far have done some work in a coffee shop where it was so bright I could hardly see the screen, but the work seems more or less comprehensible, so that's good. Now off to the theatre foyer cafe, where it's nice and quiet and there are big windows.

Mr alto is out of town this evening and I may have a friend coming round for dinner, but if she flakes on me (which is looking likely) I won't be too disappointed to spend the evening pottering around the house.

gaspode, I do a lot of work for Big Pharma, but it's via agencies so I can hide the fact when necessary, and indeed in some cases I'm not allowed to disclose who I'm working for. I'd talk to you, if I were in NYC!

Gaspode. . .can you come in here with an armful of free med samples? Because if you could, you should take that job!

I'm picking up my rats tomorrow! *glee*

gaspode - It's not something I'm thrilled about but when it has to be done, it has to be done. I know much of it is done as humanely as possible, it's the bad stuff we tend to hear about. Besides, on a more personal note, I'd be dead if it weren't for animal testing.

I've had trouble sleeping the past few nights afer some particularly good news came my way. So much to do, so much to plan, and it is all good. My brain won't shut off.

gaspode, drug companies are the enemy!*

*until I need some medicine, then they're not doing enough. /irony
