Catalysts hate me. Why won't this stuff work?! 
Monitoring this rig is really boring. All I do is sit around and hit the spacebar every 22 minutes. Excel isn't installed on the lab comp so I can't even do any data workup while I'm sitting here. So instead I've been looking all over McMaster-Carr for parts to make a bad ass grow system. Though I...

Well, I've had my excitement allotment for the year.
At work I run and experimental rig that reacts pure methane and steam at extremely high temperatures and pressures, 850C and 1000 PSIG, to reform it into CO and hydrogen. For fellow nerds: Steam reforming Wiki.
So yesterday I was running the rig to get more kinetics data. Everything was full on. System at 1000...

I love it: "if you're not breaking something, your not doing research." 
And you have an excellent roommate, having everything all ready for you when you came home!

Bleh. Spending too much time at work. I wish I was paid hourly instead of salary.
tinuviel:
I've always thought that salary would be easier because you'd have that consisnt cash flow. But I am hourly so maybe the grass is just greener on the other side
jonnyjonnyh:
Hey man, you gotta average it over when you were getting paid to recover from your massive head wounds. 
PARTY TOMORROW!!!!
I expect to see everyone here.

still in chicago... though i missed it both times when i lived in boulder. take lots of good pictures. someone better show some skin, it wouldn't be a sgco party without some boobs coming out.
madscience:
Hope it was a good one!
Yay, no more stitches.
I think I have a release to go back to work, however the Exempla doctor I saw today for the workmans comp decided that I can't drive even though my neurologist said I can. Stupid doctors.
All things considered though, the last week has been pretty good to me.
Peace
Andy

you need a limo to drive you around everywhere.
maybe your work should pay for that since they put that table in your way.
i mean, it IS their fault. right.

Well, sure, the workman's comp doc wants to cover your work's ass. They don't want any liability with you going back "too soon." Workman's comp sucks in many ways. I hope you don't have any other trouble with them - one of the secretaries at work has had all kinds of hell with them. 
I'm glad you're doing better! 
I'm glad you're doing better! 3 drinks is too many.
My baby is spending the night in an unfamiliar place. I hope she'll be OK.

It's not the 4, but I saw this picture of an RS and I thought you'd appreciate it:
Awesome day today. Made first tracks on several runs. It was amazingly warm, and not windy at all. And I escaped with nothing worse than a sprained thumb.

Sounds like you had a brilliant day on the slopes. I spent the last 24 hours having to deal w/ the "The Giants are going to win today" and when I got to work last night (worked a night shift because I had today off) people in my department were wigging when they won in O/T. Friggin' Giants! I hate them w/ a passion!
I'm going to crash dude...have a good one man!

Thats always a good thing! Hopefully Saccora and I will see you soon at triva night but I just wanted to say hello.
Snowboarding today!
Here's hoping I don't fuck up.

No more concussions!

Right, didn't you get pretty fucked up the last time you went snowboarding?! Good luck!
2 weeks since my last update. I'm slacking.
Not much to report really. Still working my new job at TDA, and I'm enjoying it despite the frustration and stress that comes with it. RadioShack was a lot easier, but boy was it boring. That and it only paid 1/3 what TDA does.
Still hanging out with RS girl pretty regularly. Well, more like every day....

God to hear things are going for you, just tell her to drop that zero and get with a hero. She'll listen.

I was joking. I know about 1-3. I just really hated them and try to pretend they don't exist.
Happy international hangover day....

Heh, I had a wee bit of a hangover, and I celebrated at a retirement home last night!

There's a new trilogy?
You know you want one
