Long story short, at lunch today with some friends i ended up taking a personality test. i am reasonably convinced that instead of the 16-or so types, there really are indeed only 4 that people get (at least by taking these online tests), as supported by the fact that one of my labmates and i got the same type. i also posited the theory that perhaps a commonality of grad school has a skewing effect; it selects for a few particular types. Anyway, if you get curious and end up taking the test, let me know what you are said to be, to add to the data for my theories?

It's 11:20 pm and i'm still in lab the day before i go home for Christmas, having developed 8 westerns today and run/transferred 8 more for tomorrow. Here's hoping some of tomorrow's turn out. No idea when i'll pack. It's moments like this when i really just wish i'd chose to drive (as i'll get home and be sans vehicle, anyway).

Also in a funk of frustration/envy/hopelessness. Argh.

i do all of this to myself, but i don't know any other way to be.
