I love that the baby gorilla is wearing the EXACT same newborn cap that they put on Owen. So. Freakin'. Cute.

So rare in this nerd preserve.

Nerd preserve. That's one I haven't heard. HA!

Why didn't I flirt? WHY? Now he's gone. 4eva.

Might he be back for a job or an internship? One where he needs lots of assistance from the cute but snarky administrative chick with fantastic hair?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gack. I can peg the work moments that set the head off. Just a wee bit of frustration, combined with having to talk, and boom!

Off to sleep through lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When my boss does that, I say “boss, I have 5 urgent things on my desk. What’s the most urgent.” And then I say “boss, I have 4 urgent things on my desk, what’s the most urgent?” and so on.

I do this when he starts in with "Let me know if you can't get this done today" at 4:30. But usually his "urgent" means nothing, so I don't sweat it and do what I want. And then he gets worked up. And I can't see the computer screen anymore due to eyerolling.

Tom, I'd suggest you add as a goal, "Continue not to be a jackhole," because that seems so rare in the workplace these days.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tom, I'd suggest you add as a goal, "Continue not to be a jackhole," because that seems so rare in the workplace these days.

In fact, I'd say this is good advice for all Toms....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Nerd preserve. That's one I haven't heard. HA!

It's lori's. Speaking of lori, I wonder if she's around for lunch.

Might he be back for a job or an internship?

I don't think so, he was just checking out our labs because he does similar work at his university.

smacks self in head

so, you send a short, clever email thanking him for his visit and letting him know that you're happy to help him if he needs anything from you/your work.

I am, but am only grabbing a quick lunch on the mall. Catching up with Days of Our Lab gossip.
