My lips are still burning

[cornerofmadness]

Just before noon as I'm talking to the organic chem prof, another chem prof runs is and says there's a bit of an emergency in lab. We run in and the moronic architecture has come back to haunt us. Whoever low-bid the building of this place poorly insulated the roof AND put the coolant for the HVAC/Heating system in pipes right by that roof. The pipes had burst, showering down fuschia water (that perfectly matched my sweater). We ran in and started pulling things out of the flood zone. Called maintenance twice (first time they were ate lunch and didn't want bothered until we said it's not water it's a CHEMICAL leak). So naturally we have basically antifreeze all over our cuffs and shoes and head and shoulders.

I go on to class and putter in my lab. three hours later, the secretary runs and gets me. ANOTHER pipe burst. Ceiling tiles everywhere, the gen-chem lab is a wreck. We decide it's going to be colder still this weekend so we plastic wrap every computer and piece of equipment we can which takes a lot longer so my throat was sore and my lips burning from exposure to what is probably ethylene glycol.

And another blog post by me on the world of Kept Tears, all steampunk clothing and music. Enjoy. Find it Here

I hit something in my bad shoulder and my whole arm is numb. Just touching my shoulderblade to the chair hurts. tonight will be fun sleeping

The black Momma cat returned much to my distress this afternoon. I really did think they had relocated/killed her and her babies. It is SO cold out there but she looks too sick to bring in (I have no way of separating her from Kanda). I did get her food by pouring half Kanda's bowl into a plastic one. You should have SEEN his face. He kept double taking. You stole my food? Why? MY FOOD!!! (as if he couldn't live off his fat for days). She was gone again when I returned from Jackson. I ran up to get more food before the snow comes. I have SO. MUCH. FOOD. Must stop hoarding it. The poor cashier had no idea what anything was? Parsnips, kale, brussel sprouts, cilantro. At least he got the broccoli right.

Poor sad Momma cat. I heard someone crying last night in the cold, but by the time I got up and went downstairs, I couldn't find the kitty. -_-

That's so exciting at your school. /sarcasm font

ouchie to your shoulder.

Yeah, it was a bad situation. I'm just glad we got the equipment out of the way. This causes me great concern. Another chemist and I are working on a quarter of a million dollar grant for a piece of equipment. What's the point if the roof keeps leaking liek this.

Kanda might find himself on a diet, greedy boy

thanks

I do feel so bad for her. I was happy when I thought she was gone.

It's always a laugh a minute here

*siiiiigh* Poor kitty. I saw tracks leading from my porch when I went out this morning.

It surely is!

I hope you don;t get ill due to your chemical bath.

If you do, sue the school. That's insane.

thanks. I'm sure I'm fine. Most was on clothing and not skin. They'd claim bankruptcy (and from what they tell us it's probably true)
