This is how it works

Annie and I had a discussion this morning about a botanist job in Alaska that I saw. She said she'd visit me if I ended up living there because she likes Alaska. Also she gave me pointers on how to tell brown bears and black bears apart (apparently, if you get treed, the black bears are the ones who climb up after you and the brown bears are the ones who yank the tree down to get to you). Also I should be wary of polar bears. So yes: Alaska, gorgeous, but watch out for the bears -- message received.

For the records, I really loathe writing CVs. By "loathe" I mean I dislike it more than pre-lab write-ups, lab calculations, and post-lab write-ups combined. I think I even dislike it more than molecular bio lab quizzes, though not as much as the midterm or finals. Less than application essays, of course, though that isn't saying much.
