My area was supposed to get relatively lightly hit - half a foot to a foot of snow by the end of the day.

Well, it's just 10:30 am and the snow is up to my knees and the white ($*&%$ is still coming down. And down. And down.

Once again, characters which are described as brown in the book become white on the cover: Wood Sprites by Wen Spencer

(Not that previous covers in the series didn't have the same problem, like this, er, fine example.)

Quote of the Day [Apr. 2nd, 2014|05:10 pm]

Being a good manager means having enough familiarity with what the workers are doing to be able to tell good work from bad, and what it takes to do good work. If one hires good workers, listens to what they need and sees that they get it, good work will be the natural result. Micro-management pre-supposes that people are bad workers; therefore it is bad management.

This is weird - cannot see own most recent entry [Mar. 9th, 2014|11:17 am]

So when I go to my own journal, the most recent entry showing is the one about shoveling, not the one with the link to the praying mantis pic. I can see that entry via direct link from the email I got about people commenting on it, and in my Friends page (I am, of course, my own friend), but not from looking at my entries or going to the option to edit past entries. Very odd. Wonder what will happen with this one.

Snow is a four-letter word [Feb. 5th, 2014|02:26 pm]

So, despite what you think you might see, is shovel. Dear gods, I ache. And there's more white crap still falling, and more predicted.

Spring cannot come soon enough.

For Jeff, Geoffrey, and everyone with a passing acquaintance with scientific research [Jan. 10th, 2013|03:37 pm]

I refer you to Twitter hashtag #OverlyHonestMethods and a related Imgur Album.

Samples:
- We used semi-anaerobic culture conditions because sandra forgot to start the shaker.
- Study sites are in non-linear transect b/c there is only road in the region & we couldn't find mules to carry our gear.
- I bought taq polymerase from invitrogen bc they had a contest to win an iPad with purchase
- The sample was limited as we ran out of undergrads willing to be research subjects

Go see!

What is it with some of these parents? Most of them do as one would expect - either waiting on the sidewalk for the older kids, absent for the teens, or assisting their toddlers. Most are perfectly polite and come are charming. But what is with the parent who come up with their own sacks, holding out for candy of their own? Lady, you're over 30 - you really need to leave the trick-or-treating to the kids. Other lady - WTF? you come to the door with 3 sacks and no children and tell me you're 'collecting for three'? With no kids in sight. Just - WTF?
