cornerofmadnessFor some reason half of what we needed for micro was never ordered but that's not the dangerous part. Wednesday I had issues getting the gas to work for the bunsen burners. Today DM couldn't get it to work at all so she and I and L went to investigate. There is NO emergency shut off in that lab for the gas. What the holy fuck? We took this lab from the prof who wasn't doing anything but that means for years there have been working gas jets with NO turn off. We're obviously looking into it. sheesh.
And dangerous to my free time: Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere radio show (in theory. so far it's boring).
The faculty meeting was over 2 1/2 hours long but at least we're doing better financially.
I'm trying to pick my vacation. Have to admit I've looked at Nova Scotia/Cape Breton. I admit it, all the come to Cape Breton if Trump wins and you want to flee viral ads put the idea in my head. I've always wanted to go to Nova Scotia. However, it looks like an insanely long drive which means I would have to fly and rent a car. That might be more than I want to pay.
Found a really cool Scottish castle tour. I mean if I'm going to be shelling out tons of cash...
Then I remembered I wanted to see the Ozarks and stay at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs. That might be doable. I'd go right through Eville and I could spend a day or two with ELD and right through St Louis and there are a few things I've wanted to see there too. Hmmmm

Date: 2016-02-20 10:45 pm (UTC)The British Isles has quite a few castles. Most are ruins, but a fair few are worth looking at. The best one close to us is Dover castle. Been there many times!

The only one I've been inside of is this one (I also saw Criccieth castle from the outside) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlech_Castle
well the Tower of London too, which probably counts as a castle-like thing

Date: 2016-02-21 02:07 am (UTC)At least our meetings are only about an hour long and every other Friday? Unless there's some important news and we get hollered out of our cubes to come and listen.
WHEEE to the no shut off with live gas. That's extra special.
Well, coming through Eville would be great...I'd like that.

I'm sure you would. I'm still not sure what I'm doing.
