Murses.

I thought it was an unspoken understanding that I couldn't stunter cut, nor gnolish a poem. Then you ingested the umbilical with no comment on the marinade I gave it.

Maybe we're not so different after all. That was some impressive nonsense right there.

I'm pretty sure you just called me [a] reject, or a cunt. I feel neutral about it; however, I do plan to disappoint or cause ire in the future.

[megabyteme]

Maybe we can get together one time and handle each other's bags.

You seem nice, and all, but I've just never been much for wife swapping.

Home space.

I have no actual work space, except for a locker, and my own personal table-top centrifuge that if I break, I repair or pay for. Same goes for some personal gel apparatus, some stains and random reagents here and there (NADH being a supply that I never run short on), and a microscope with UV attachments.

EDIT: I'm actually working on getting my own personal lab started at home. I've saved aside a little under 20 grand, which between hand-sawing most of my isolation parts, investing in some UV lamps, glass casting of some materials, spending on a set of home-made rotors, buying a microscope, and a few dozen I/O interface options shouldn't be much off the mark for everything I could possibly need at home. Been thinking about starting a kickstarter project and providing all backers some sort of cool microscopy tailored to themselves in return. Trying to find a journal that supports independent start-ups more than actual research (kind of like Citizen Science Quarterly) to post the collage in as sort of a bigger incentive.

I didn't say baggage now did I? Anyways, I'm getting mixed signals with you looking at hotties

I don't know how you plan to fit that all in that tiny workspace I saw. As far as those types of journals go, I know they exist, but they're rarely read (relatively). If the idea is to get a grant, they won't help much in that endeavor. You also have a small budget there, I'm assuming you're buying used off of other labs (for the things that can't be constructed). I'm just full of criticism tonight, aren't I? I guess I should have just asked, what's the end goal?

The tiny workspace is nothing but the computer hub. I have an entire empty basement to myself with but one other corner taken up by my television/ps3 combination.

And it's not for a grant, the idea is to give people an incentive to donate through me, and I'll "write them up the ropes" of getting their pictures/ideas in a journal.

As for the end goal, work-at-home-as-a-hobby, pretty much. Juggling two (graphic design and immunology) jobs, along with running my own business leaves me with a little bit too much overhead for a stay-at-home son. I don't mind investing that sort of money into my own personal research at home. That's the end goal. Not looking to cure cancer out of my basement, but let's say run double-checks or dry runs of experiments before it comes time to put the game face on can never be a bad thing. And I can always finish experiments at home if we get cutoff halfway through because the coordinator wants to go in a different direction.

I don't see me having my PhD within the next 5 years, so I see no reason to wait until then and my post-doc to run my own lab.

I can only hope* your captors allow you sunlight, and proper nutrition.


*Not really, that would imply care. Although, I can imagine an intense scene...


Captor: It applies lotion to its skin.

DR: No, I want out. OOOUUUTTT!!!

C: It puts the lotion on its skin!

DR: I have your little doggie here!

Dog: YELP!

C: Stop kicking him! What does It want in exchange for my dog?

DR: I want a LEATHER MURSE...

[Squeamous]

I figure now is the time to show my murse. I just captured the light that reflects off of it with this contraption that allows me to talk with living other spirits (who are not required to be in my vicinity to do so).

Attachment 90177

It's a sad indictment on this thread that this is the most manly thing on it. It is the sort of bag a serial killer carries around his garrote in though.

[chalice]

Dennis Thatcher just rang. He says he wants his hard-nosed bitch back.

[Quarterquack]

Great, now we'll end up losing one of our more prominent dicks, and given this thread as a contextual problem it's clearly a necessity to keep those around.
