excuses excuses

i have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off since 1:30. in fact, with my boss hovering over my shoulder i have gotten nervous enough to enduce craps. instead of doing everything step by step, she had us doing 3 different experiments at once. so, i have a headache, i have some wicked cramps even though i'm not supposed to start my period, and i have about another hour and a half of work to do and i've been here since 7:30ish.

but she's gone. the remaining steps are hugely uncomplicated. everything is good. i think.

although i haven't heard anything from edgar since monday . . . i emailed him twice yesterday and once today and called him at 11 last night and told him to call back by 11:30 (i was going to sleep) and i just called him now . . . i don't know where he is :(

looks like everyone had a busy afternoon. . .

anusha has an excuse (conference), but where are the rest of you??? you're not much of a distraction from work when you don't say anything. . .

last blog for the day from me

i went for a walk in the park for a little :) its nippy out but i like it...

now im off to a conference from 230-5 and then ill go home...dev went to the apt to take my computer cause he needs it for a meeting, so no blogging for me from home...

jules see you at home!

at least julie is alive

no word from dev :( and no word from the rest of you till now! i was getting pretty fed up with everyone!!! jules this is why i love you :)

mark made an apt to go see my dad next wednesday :) pretty funny huh?

rakesh cancelled on lunch again, geez that guys job sucks!! im brought some soup of my moms here and will eat that then go to a conference, so ill only be at my computer till about 230...then conference, home, gym, studying...

jules - you didnt have to go out last night?

i need to limit myself from blogging

so i make myself accomplish a task, then blog, then work some more. . .

but yes, i'm here :) i did have to go out last night, but i decided that the rain and crappy weather was a good reason to sell our jordan. he wasn't too excited, but still, it's impossible to go out in the rain and look cute! there's no way you'll take an umbrella to a club, and even if you're taking a cab, you still need to stand outside in the rain for 2 minutes while you find a cab! oh well, i'll make it up to him. i had a great, relaxing, warm, and dry evening at home, instead :) amazing how much happier i am when i get a decent amount of sleep the night before. i need to remember this whenever i'm thinking of going out on a weeknight. hhmmm. . . nah, that'll never stop me from going out.

i brought a sandwich today, so hopefully i'll just eat with rupa whenever she gets her lunch. i even got groceries yesterday! i was soo productive. i hate spending $7 on a silly sandwich just cause we're in midtown.

no my fault!

i haven't been at my desk . . . or even in the building! since like 11!!! so, it's not my fault i haven't written - no reason not to love me :):):)

now, i am going to find some lunch

oops - clock

i dont know why the clock is so weird!!! it just changed it by itself to 140 and i didnt do it i swear!!!

why i love my iPod

i'm listening to Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract" right now! sooo random. reminds me of 3rd grade :)

rupa, is your ipod still sick?

sleeping at 9:30am

hey, i don't like people to bother me when i'm sleeping, so i do the same for others! besides, the plumbing excuse sounds like a pretty good one to me :)

i didn't sleep so well last night - i don't know why, but it was really hot in my room.

nush - have you talked to dev yet? that's weird that he didn't call you. i heard you come home at 3am, and i just automatically assumed he came home with you. i did think it was odd that you were coming home so late at night.

i worked out yesterday, too. i had a good workout, although walking in the rain wasn't fun AT ALL. i had a nice quiet evening to make up for it though - WB tuesday night shows and painting my nails :)


and meg, about gilmore girls: you're right, it's totally not fair for everyone to blame rori for all of this. but it's not fair for you to blame only dean, either. they both fucked up.

thoughts on gilmore girls: none, thoughts on why boys are stupid: because they are boys

jules - when you see me sleeping at 930 you should wake me up!! at least to ask if i want to still be sleeping!!! :)

"the plumbing wasnt working, so i had to stay home for the super to come" allens response, thats what you get for wanting to live in soho. :)

anyway now im here...not rested at all which is what you would think if i didnt get here till 1030

my night: i went home, in the pouring rain, somehow motivated myself to go to the gym (i think i need to get a good taeboe video, that way when its gross out i can stay home and do that...the one bryan got me is way too basic...) then i came home, showered, packed a bag and went to devs. he is leaving today for atlanta, then philly, then CT for the weekend with my fam so i wnated to see him before i left...

i forgot that i didnt sleep at all the night before or any night when it is raining cause the way their roof is set, the rain trickles off alllll onto his AC. and it sounds as if someone is hammering in your ear ALL NIGHT LONG. so i studied for a long time listening to my ipod, we ate dinner, and then i finished studying and tried sleeping, still listening to music to drown out the hammering, went to bed at 11, woke up at 2 cause i couldnt sleep, read the new yorker for an hour, he went to bed, he was fast asleep, and i still couldnt sleep, so i got up, put my stuff back in my bag, told him i was leaving and took a cab home. he was definitely not happy, and was like why are you so whiny what is your problem just lay down and sleep. and i was like you may be able to sleep through this, but i cant, and i asked him to just take the ac out the window...and he said that was silly, so i decided to just leave. i did. got home at 3, slept till 930 :)

still havent heard from him..isnt that weird? if your significant other left at 3 am wouldnt you at least wonder if they got home ok, or is that just me?

and i had the weirdest dream, we were in rochester/hamptons - as in they were the same place...ill write that one later though :)

rebutal

i agree she is partially to blame.
buuut . . .
lindsay's mom attacked her in the town square and called her a homewrecker and told her to go to hell - all based on a letter that said you need to figure out your life, i'm going to remove myself so you can. and then she went to see dean to apologize and see how he was doing and he attacks her and tells her how everyone is mad at her. well, he came into the situation going on and on about how his marriage with lindsay was over - why is he so concerned that it actually ended then? and he yells at her about the letter - yet shouldn't his response be i had 7 weeks without you around to figure out what i want. i want you. no, he blows up about how stupid he is that he ever liked her in the first place.

thoughts?

carebear

he imed me last night. i was playing with my ipod (erasing doubles) and he imed me. he signed off and signed back on twice and imed me both times, but was just like how's life? and i'd answer and ask back and he wouldn't say anything and 10 minutes later he'd sign off and sign on again and say "how's life?"

blah.

and i haven't even talked to edgar since monday :( and he was in a sad mood because he didn't think he had done well on the test he'd been studying all weekend for. its the class he added late and a lot of it was on the first lab, which he wasn't there for so he thinks he got partial credit but not super well. i wasn't going to see him at all on monday, he was like umm . .. i don't really want to come over. but when i offered to come pick him up, he was like ok. its this weird thing between us that he always drives, so somehow its a big deal when i offer to . . . i think it makes him feel like that means i really really want to see him or something? which is true - but i always feel that way and would go pick him up whenever he wanted me too . . . he just doesn't take advantage of it.

whoa!

how is it his fault??? i think they are both equally responsible. and he's right - why does she want him now? didn't she dump him?

don't get me wrong - i do think he's an ass. i just don't think she's completely free of blame.

gimore Girls

he was weird because that is the first time they saw each other since he left the b&b after the kiss! and it's been 7 weeks! and they aren't out of the closet yet!

and i think dean is an ass and rory deserves to be treated better. be mad at her if you want, but its his fault that they slept together.

this morning

i, too, had trouble getting out of bed this morning. i went to bed early though- i guess it is the rain. but nobody knows i was late since everyone in my dept gets here later than me anyways, so it's all good :)

megan - all your experiment talk does confuse me. keep telling us about it though, maybe i'll start picking up on it. . .

i only caught the second half of gilmore girls yesterday. it was good, though. why did luke act so weird when he saw lora lai (how the heck do you spell her name??) at the diner?? oh well, at least he gave her the necklace and they almost kissed outside :) i saw one tree hill, too. that one was't as good. i can't believe they got married! i also saw brother bear last night. not as good as aladdin or the lion king, but it was cute :)

ok, time for breakfast (cereal) and coffee. nush was still sleeping when i left home (at like 9:30ish), so she prob won't be here for a little bit. . .

oh, the guilt!

he got me a present. the guy that went to india . . . its an elephant with sequins and beads and its just like 3 inches across and is supposed to be a keychain . . but its a little big to be a keychain . . . but still!

i need to go to the hospital in the next 4 hours - that's how long i have until i do my next step. of course, i already screwed up. but . . the question was why are the cells dying, will this way fix it. that's all fine. but the greater question is of these 3 types of cells, which is producing this specific substance. THAT part i screwed up. but i'm not sure if i really screwed that part up either . . . we'll see :) or we won't see. which won't tell me whether i screwed up. because it could just be the timing of the experiment is wrong, not that my mistake ruined it because so far we haven't seen those results anyway. was that overly vague yet too complicated for you? :)

he survived!

how was his trip? sorry you lost half the cube.. but i want to hear all about it. when do you go to the other hospital? good luck!

sadness

my cubby buddy has been in india for the last 3 weeks and change. i had gotten very used to having my own area. and now he's back! i think i'm going to walk to dunkin donuts and get a bagel . . .

rain?

it's sunny in rochester. don't curse us!

if no one knows...

if no one knows you are late, not a big deal :) and you never look like crap, so don't worry.

i think the rain is what makes it hard to get out of bed... i had the same problem today. gilmore girls was good though!! :) good luck with your day, megan. and all of you :)

a little late

so, i was about half an hour late this morning. no one knows this but me . . .and i'm really not too worried. half an hour either way should not make a big difference.

what's worse than that is i look like crap. i had some serious issues getting out of bed today . . . and i get to go meet people at another hospital. oh well, if they judge they judge.
