i doubt anybody reads this anymore. :)

at first, i was a little apprehensive coming back to the lab. after always being in one for the past two years straight, i had what felt like a GIANT holiday away from it - four whole months, i mean whoopee! and i could feel it too. like holding a pipette-aid felt strange (yet comforting. yani you nerd.) and i was afraid i might trip up somewhere along the way.. with my boss watching me!

but two days in, i got into the swing of things and putting on the lab coat gave me this odd yet familiar feeling of.. being at home? (garrh!) i was in my element. :)

as you can see, i still need to come to terms with my nerdy scientific self.

my boss is terrific. plus chop! i mean, i could recount the ways but nah i shan't, just cause. my post-doc is lagi terrific! :) :) i'm really happy to have them guiding me, i mean honestly, i don't know where else i can get such great support. to sum it up, they really go out of their way to make sure i'm ok. it doesn't sound like much summed up like that, but i guess only i need to know how much they've done and are willing to do for me. :)

so i have a PI (whom i've yet to meet, he's canadian and has long hair, therefore he's cool) a boss (a research scientist with a world of experience who's half brit and half jamaican, so he must be cool) and a post-doc (who's worked with qiagen and THAT is cool).

in short, i'm happy and hopeful :)

so back to the 13pg paper i was reading.
