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

Wow. If you were a kid in 1950 or 1951, you could be the lucky recipient of this cool atomic energy lab. Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab (1950-1951)

This was the most elaborate Atomic Energy educational set ever produced, but it was only only available from 1951 to 1952. Its relatively high price for the time ($50.00) and its sophistication were the explanation Gilbert gave for the set's short lifespan. Today, it is so highly prized by collectors that a complete set can go for more than 100 times the original price.

The set came with four types of uranium ore, a beta-alpha source (Pb-210), a pure beta source (Ru-106), a gamma source (Zn-65?), a spinthariscope, a cloud chamber with its own short-lived alpha source (Po-210), an electroscope, a geiger counter, a manual, a comic book (Dagwood Splits the Atom) and a government manual "Prospecting for Uranium."

Awesome! I imagine it'd be a bit difficult to make something like this now....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh. The meeting I'm scheduled to go to at 9:00 is turning out to be a major clusterf*ck, and it's really not doing much for my motivation to go to work.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I used up all my Kleenex yesterday but my nose is still running. This means I can go home, right?

I acquired a temporary cat, which was left inside a locked room at my house last night. Can I find it now? I will have to go on hoping that I haven't lost it for now.

Is this some sort of existential mind puzzle??

Uhg. Work.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Temporary cat turned out to be glaring at me from a strategicly inobvious space on a bookshelf. So at least it's not a case for Shroedinger.

Wow. The Daily Mail is big with the judge-y, isn't it?

Loki pulled that this morning. So now he's loose with Devi in the apartment. He's bigger than her now, he should be fine. Or he'll spend the whole day in a litterbox or cat cube. I wish he'd figure out he's now bigger and faster.

I stayed home from work today for no particular reason other than I just couldn't face another day in the world.

Nora, sorry to hear the world is getting you down.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I have forgotten that today is PT conferences. I have to drop stuff off at the fucking consignment sale. AND we have an accreditation visit tomorrow.

Um, universe, fuck off. I'm not laughing.
