Back at the lab

It's like I never left! I went in, spent the day surfing the internet (I had a scientific website open on an emergency tab), slept a bit, and went home. I feel as if I am one with the lab, and with science in general.

Actually, it was more like this: do paperwork, get lost looking for the Pathology office, fax something, read, read, read, scribble down a thought, read, read, refill my coffee, read, read, eat lunch, read (sleepily), read, read, meet with the boss, look up the bus schedule, go home. It's not the sort of day that one describes as "a great first day at work", but it's also not "the crap".

Elaine survived her first day with Rachel and Madeleine with only a few bite marks. She was actually pretty normal and happy when I got home.

Everyone vote nice tomorrow!

  1. Yeah, sorry about the girl's chompers. For what it's worth, she doesn't bite me. I'm sure that makes you feel better.

  2. She doesn't bite me, either, so it's cool. I think her Dracula-like approach is hilarious..."I'm going to bite you, see? Ahhhhhh... Ahhhh... closer.... yeeessss." Part of the problem is that Elaine just seems to put up with it. The other day, she actually offered Madeleine a tiny bit of cracker as the adults in the room began a slow-motion "Nnnnnnoooooooo!!!!". I think Madeleine actually licked her lips that time.

  3. Rachel's theory is that Madeleine just likes pissing Megan off, which is the same reason Madeleine refuses to eat with her. It's a theory that explains a lot, and is very, very scary for the teenage years.
