I better explain the very lewd comment my husband posted today. It was in response to a comment that was posted by a porno BLOG spammer. Yeah, that's right, they've reached a new low.
That comment had been removed by me as soon as I discovered it, which was unfortunately at the mass spec facility on a computer with a sign above it reading "DO NOT USE THESE COMPUTERS FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN MASS SPEC ANALYSIS." Clearly when the porno site came up on the computer my immediate response was to quickly close the viewer, remove the comment, and remove all evidence that I had been there, then move to the other side of the room.
I was on this illegal mass spec computer because I was a little shaky from a hard fall I made on the way to the facility and needed an excuse to sit down. I blasted past some dude and tore up the concrete steps, then tripped over my sandals and pitched forward onto my face at the top. The dude stepped over me and kindly said "are you ok?" I punched him in the face, picked myself up and launched off so I could make my appointment at the mass spec lab on time.
It wasn't my fault I was late to the mass spec facility. I had been previously distracted by a yo-yo craze that had overtaken our lab just prior. These yo-yo's were really cool and lit up when they spun, and it turns out my boss is an expert yo-yo'er and even knows how to "walk the dog." I had only ever seen that once before, when my yoga instructor - a former professional yo-yo'er (you better believe it!) - demonstrated for me in response to my doubt at his career claims.
The yo-yo craze was the fault of the New Girl in our lab, who wrote a nice sweet letter to the company that does iTRAQ, telling them how cool it is. In thanks, they sent her a bag full of glowing yo-yo's and she passed them all around the lab.
iTRAQ is a new mass spec technique that I was learning how to use down in the mass spec lab today.

I thought that was just Derek being Derek.
You two are the only people I know who make lewd comments in GOOD taste. Correctly stated, Derek.
I have given up trying to re-start my blog using the (much friendlier) Macintosh. I realize I must use my PC. For some reason the blogger isn't formatting completely in the Mac. Is anyone using MAC to blog? (how about when you started up the blog for the first time??) I don't understand how some of the options don't appear when using the MAC.
I am going to buy a laptop soon... and I think it will be a PC. I never thought I'd say that. PC is less expensive, which is good! :)
Have you made a decision about the post-doc?
I don't use Macs unless I have to but I do know that my naked co-worker had some trouble with different browsers when she blogged - she found that IE was the best and Mozilla second best (Opera didn't work at all). Mac uses Safari so that could be the problem.
I haven't emailed the guy in Toronto yet because I'm going to be out of town every week until mid-September so I thought I'd wait (and I like the Seattle guy's stuff a lot better). My interview in Seattle is at the end of it all in mid-September. If that one goes well I might just take it. If not, I'll start a second round of inquiries and definitely include the guy in Toronto.
Oh. I see. Why, oh why must I fret over the computer! Because technology is a beast.
I'll bet it's cooler in Toronto than here. also probably cooler in Minn or Seatle. I think I would like to summer at the North Pole. I just can't take this heat.
It's WAY cooler here than there. We are ABOVE that heat wave of yours (seriously). It was 57 degrees this morning when we woke up. Whoo!
