Today was a matter of up at 8:15 am, into the lab by 9am, phone call from Susan and subsequent trip to Red's at midday. Back to the lab by 3 pm, worked until 6:30 pm, home and nap till 8:30 pm and then more lab from 9 pm till 11 pm and now home and shower.
The trip to Red's was nice though I knew I had to back at the lab. I thought I was close to finishing Chapter 3 until I remembered that I still had to include the crystal structure (2 of them). This sucked, and I spent a fair bit of time on that tonight.
Sitting in front of the computer, I search for distractions, hence I have ICQ open (but invisible), periodically check my email and do some trivial lab-work also. I spammed a friend with three email messages today, even though I knew she was mucho tired (not unlike myself she's as busy as hell too). Guess I just needed a creative distraction. Given the long hours and so on, I've been a bit edgy, I should apologize to my supervisor tomorrow for nothing specific to keep him on side.
Right now I am majorly flaky, and I doubt that even this cool weather and adequate sleep will help as much as I need it to.
