Moving...

So I moved house with Alison back in April.  It was a huge pain.  In the end it was worth it.  At the same time I started a new job with the EPA that will last for two years.  Again quite interesting but the problem is I started with them right when it was time to move office because the building needed some main air system maintenance. It will take 7 months and they all have to move everything out of the building.  Offices, storage, and lab equipment.  Anything they want access to.  So for the last few months I have spent a good portion of my time trying to get things moved rather than doing much science.  This is quite annoying.  Argh.

Today is one of the last days that we are in the new building and we are facing the problem that there are a few people that are basically refusing to move a few things and letting the moving coordinator try and deal with all the problems.  So because of my position as a student help/intern whatever, I get to help with, guess what? Whatever.  So I am getting to deal with trying to moving small miscellaneous things and cleaning up these peoples labs that just didn't do anything tell now.  What a pain in the areas where pains go frequently. 

With all this going on I am lucky that I am now working on a new process that will help me finish my samples and also gives me the excuse of "no sorry, I have some things I am working on.  I can't Bail you out!"  It is nice, and luckily not to mean...

Anyway, back to work...
