Arrrr!

This may or may not be a long post. I'm currently sitting in lab half asleep with little to do and noone else here, so I figured I may as well blog a little. However, if I'm suddenly cut short, it isn't because I've had a heart attack or because I decide I don't like you (probably), it's because someone who's going to care whether I'm doing any real work or not has turned up.

On the subject of work, despite what I have just said, work in the lab has been getting a lot more interesting lately. I am actually starting to get real results that I can analyse, rather than squishing platinum powder into pellets. I must admit that sometimes the actual analytic process can be a little dull, but at least I can get something (hopefully) vaguely useful out at the end. I also don't end up with black stuff all over my face, which is a hazard when you're doing lots of stuff with very fine powder. Having said that, I guess if I am going to have black smudges all over myself then I may as well have platinum ones.

Out of the lab (and if Priyan's supervisors are reading then this shouldn't just be in order to eat and sleep) ...

Spoke too soon. Supervisor turns up and now I'm making pellets again. Goody.
