No, I'm not dead!

But I have been pretty busy lately. I started "working" at Dalhousie, in a Chemistry lab. I say "working" because I'm doing everything the rest of you suckers are, except I ain't getting paid to do it. Who's the sucker now? But the good thing is that I'm getting lots done in the lab, and even learning a few things along the way. And the good reference letter at the end of it will definitely help with my next job.

Since I last posted, our soccer team had our last game of the season. It was a complete shit show. We had two guys get sent off (one for fighting, the other for biting!!), and another 4 yellow cards. I guess it was because we were so close to winning the entire thing: our record was 1-18-1 (that's 18 losses)... Oh well, when I wasn't stopping guys from fighting, I had a good time, and I managed to lose 10 pounds, so that's OK. The team might be playing indoor this Fall/Winter, so we'll see if I stick with it. I'm just not sure how long I'll be in town. The proteomics community in Halifax is pretty tiny, and I don't know if any of them are retiring any time soon.

All for now, see you soon!
