Working from home today
May. 25th, 2011 09:35 amWhich is a good thing as last night's small dinner party could be viewed as a small success. All the best dinner parties should end up in host's local pub (downstairs) with trad music filtering through from the lounge bar.
Bit slow this morning. *yawn*
But Pirates tonight! Woohoo!
Oooh, and both the dawn chorus and the half-marathon were awesome! Though I did run out of words of encouragement at the end and cycled the last 5 km up the road passing everyone whilst saying "you're doing really well, come one you can do it, you're doing really well, come on, you can do it, you're doing really well, come one you can do it" until I was ready to stuff my own socks in my mouth. But some of 'em smiled, so maybe it helped. Will have to plan a more varied script of encouragement for next time.

Was annoyed at the world
May. 11th, 2011 05:47 pmNow not so much.
It has been a day of overwhelming busy. Two different machines in two different labs calling for my attention. So lots of running around. And then the awesomely clever machine decided to ACTUALLY DO WHAT WE FEED IT ARGON TO DO and thus the samples were done early and I had to make up more samples and that involved running around between THREE labs whilst attempting to do precise analytical chemistry at 50 mph, which is never a good plan.
But then I got to come home early and the physio poked me a bit and gave me some ultra sound on my OWIE-OW-OW-OW-ooooow point. So I feel a bit better.
And I get to go running later with the girls. Will then feel better still.
Then NCIS, glass of red wine and bed. And I win!
ETA [20:30]: I ran the whole way round for the first time! That's 7k. 7k! Suck it, bitches! (i.e. the events of the day, not you. Not my beloved readers). I AM A RUNNING GOD!!!
