Welcome to the circus you freaks - 1:28 AM
Yes I am late this week, and that is mainly due to being so busy. I had to cancel experiments this current week due to so much onWork
I worked out how to use the robot, no it doesn't have death lasers. Just LED's. But will be a big help in all that I do, got my QMB poster finished and off into the internal system. I wrote and sat my yearly performance appraisal. And graphed some results on DNA dilution in transfections.
Social
Social - who has time for social.
Games
Playing WoW again, not much though. I think like 4hrs total a week, Got the leveling guide so I can at least make it to 70 before the subscription runs out. Still playing Wii. I went professional with my bowling skills. Woot for me; I got a new ball and if behaves differently.
Wellness
The weight is still ticking down. But to many lunch meetings, conferences etc. My goal is not to gain any weight in Aug, so far so good. But the tough weeks are ahead of me.
