what would you do?

Yay, klondike day in the stockroom. Buy any enzyme or reagent and get a free klondike bar. this begins to make up for my feeling ill during dove bar day.

5:28 am do you know where your snark is

Its 5:28 in the morning right now, and i've been up for roughly 45 minutes now because the damn fire alarm has now three times chosen to go off with a hellish noise for approximately 1 second every 5-10 minutes. It seems to be done now, but its already too late to get any decent sleep done with. After the third time, i called the cambridge fire department, to see if they wanted to do anything. I expected them to send one maybe two guys over to look it over, and instead 4 cambridge firefighters dropped by in a full size fire truck with the lights going (no siren thank god). its not that i expected them to show up in a pinto, but gee whiz. anyway, the upshot is that they found nothing, the detectors are wired through the 1st floor neighbors box which was just rewired and labeled poorly so i don't know the proper breaker to turn them off, and its now 5:34 in the morning and i'm not going to even bother to get to sleep.narf. though i did manage to see LOTR again last night, and against all efforts did not manage to sleep through it. it still remains a good movie.

Meta-post

Well, i've decided to give this livejournal thing a try, however before i begin, i'm going to ramble for a little while on the whole concept. i know the idea is to have a open forum for your thoughts and stuff, but there is also the thought in the back of my head that all this stuff is for public consumption, so i think that a lot of it is going to be edited before it makes it up here. i am going to try and accomplish two things here, the first is to keep up with the posts and actually use this thing like a journal, and the second is to try and edit as little as possible. i think that the main problem is going to be remembering the litle conversations and thoughts in my head long enough to get to a computer and get them entered into the journal. but here goes:hello world...
