February is best left to a distant memory- it was crap in a word. Experiments failed left right and center along with equipment. It was a slog frankly and really didn't feel like interacting with anyone at all. The only good thing was joining a choir. Its just for a short time (until April), but its been really great to switch off from work and sing in a group. Its been years since I've been in one, but I'm loving it.
So far March has been an improvement, although work isn't letting up. I survived a 2 day workshop on bioinformatics- a charming combination of computers, computer language, statistics and things on chips and big scary machines with a sprinkling of statistics. My brain hurt after that. Then the whole department went into safety overdrive with the arrival of a health and safety executive visit. There were emails and spot visits and a rash of new signs and instructions. We were under strict instructions to be suited and booted in our labcoats and gloves today.....and nothing, zip, nada. Apparently they got to one place and that was it.
Now, I'm currently trying to wind things down for easter, which seems to be rapidly approaching, if the cells will let me!
