September 9
I have returned! (Who were you expecting, General MacArthur?) As always, a big thank you to Kira for handling things in my absence. I have a lot to say in this update, so it's time to break out the old <ul> tags.

YAY for more freedom! Yay for more updates! And another YAY for good measure. Welcome Back, Zeke, although as I recall you still posted while you were gone so you really never left.
Since you don't ever read Misc. by your own admission, there's a link in a thread for you. Derek: Heh, that's funny! I didn't even think about that! Was it you Neo that said that it was God making sure that FL doesn't mess up the election this year? I read that on someone's LJ. |

Yay! Hooray - and of course, a funny brief!
Can't wait!

Office? Hah! Maybe in the rarefied air of mathematics they have enough space to give both grad students their own office, but in the highly compact world of chemistry you get a metre of benchspace and an iMac.
I mean, really. An iMac. It's a TV and a keyboard. Plus I just got evicted from my fumehood and banished to the far end of the lab to share with the Romanian guy. In other news, amusing TJI. I think it was me who was suggesting that the hurricanes are a message not to vote for Puny Human #1, but not on any sort of LJ. I think.

And no, I don't have my own office. I have half an office (the good half). And my computer's not great either -- no floppy or CD drive. But it's mine.

My office went from 15 or 20 (when I started, couldn't wedge myself into desk space with a crowbar) to 4 (after we opened our building expansion and everyone but us moved into it -- boy, was that sweet) and now we're going back up to 8 or 9. I got spoiled by the having 4 people (2 of which were never down there) in space for, reasonably, 10. (Our office became a hangout/hide-from-supervisor spot for the other grad students.) I wish I had a window, but hey, it's still my office. (My spot can be picked out due to there being more PhD comic strips on my bulletin board than anything else.

Sounds like you've got a plan there, Zeke. Which is good.
Also, the TJI Brief was quite amusing. I have to say I prefer boxers myself though.

Woo-hoo, an office! :mrgreen:
Amusing TJI ("TJI Brief"?), though no specific line stands out. Quote:

Also, about "5MV Year Five"...
Maybe it would be possible to organize the fourth anniversary... around New Year`s? It just seems such a shame to skip it completely. And just because it`s not in June. It doesn`t have to be strictly an anniversary, but rather a celebration of 5MV`s fourth year, or 2004... There is still time until New Year, so I guess it might be possible to organize it... Would be much better than skipping it altogether and waiting nine months for the fifth one... Just a suggestion.

No, we're not going to skip the fourth anniversary altogether. As I said in the article, there will still be a theme week in 2004, and we'll probably still treat it as the fourth anniversary event -- it just won't be the one we've been working on all this time. That one is being saved for the fifth anniversary due to excessive coolness.

for my entire life, and that place had its fair share of garbage in the streets, constant noise in yr ears, and also a whole lotta idiotic people, so I moved down to SW Florida in April of 2003 to get away from the City and start a new life down here. We had no major hurricanes during the entire last year & then this state got slammed with 4 inna row! :shock: My roommates and I were worried when we heard about Ivan but we didn't pay any attention to the other 3 since they weren't going to affect our city too badly. Reading this TJI by DD made me smile a little, but I'll LMAO when the hurricane season finally concludes. :lol:
