1. So I was saying that I hoped my supervisor was suitably pleased with my pile of data from this run? SHE WAS. She was, by her standards, extremely effusive; I am basking gently in the glow of having been told that I made the right judgement calls about the slightly difficult mass spec session, that I got a significant amount of good data, that the reproducibility of results was great, that I've done really well with my standard deviations given how low the concentrations I'm working with are. She was just really really nice about my dataset just being... really good work. Basking.

2. I crashed out at 9pm and woke up spontaneously at 6; I had a nice relaxed morning pottering about (packing bag for tonight, eating breakfast, making hot chocolate), got into work at 8am, had my supervisor tease me gently about it (she normally gets in around 7 but today I beat her...), faffed with some more data (including fixing the problem in my 'orrible plotting script that I identified last night after I'd put computers away to sLEEP), tidied my desk, replied to some e-mails, ... yeah, pretty pleased with myself. And I slept super well, so.

3. Help help I am seriously considering setting up a side-tumblr called "kaberants" for the sake of engaging with irritatingly wrong text posts without having them clutter up my set of nice pretty pictures??? (Today's discovery-via-tumblr of the morning: Emily Blincoe's photography.)

4. It is a source of great pleasure to me that it's now light at 7am; soon I will start getting the District line into work again (because it runs aboveground for most of the trip, whereas the Piccadilly is underground for this section). Also, I tamed my hair.

5. Indelicates gig tonight! And I have reason to believe they'll be playing lots of stuff from the upcoming album, which appears to be about SPACE SCIENCE and SPACE ROBOTS and CHOICES and consequently I cry everywhere at it every time :D :D :D :D

(and 6: facesfriend points out to me that if I think he is being ludicrously indulgent of me because he adjusts the toaster to provide me with toast slightly burnter than he prefers it, this is possibly an indication that my perception of myself as Really Difficult To Deal With and Always Making People Go Out Of Their Way is skewed.)

I would totally follow kaberants.

By contrast I crashed at 3AM and woke at 1:30, with the laptop still on top of me and the mouse still in my hand - damn that was a lot of open tabs in my browser....

In my still somewhat groggy state I looked at 'kaberants' and decided that was obviously the collective noun for people who engage in kaberett ;)

[davidgillon]

Also 'Basking', 'Basking' is good :)

[silveradept]

These are excellent things, and I applaud you for them.

[birke]

I would definitely follow @kaberants if it existed.

[milkymoon]

Well done with the data. ^^

(Oh, and if you did make a 'kaberants' Tumblr I'd follow it. :3)

Yay supervisor! Yay good sleep! Yay signs that summer may be returning to you and going away from me! Yay SPACE ROBOTS! Yay facesfriend. And... yay? side tumblr? I'm not sure if you want to be cheered on about that or not. I'd enjoy your rants, but only you know if the stress is worth it.

I find getting enough sleep crucial to my mood, so yay for plenty of sleep!

Also, yay for facesfriend who is very wise :)

Additionally, toasters are often not difficult to adjust back as needed.
