Still haven't heard back from the committee people yet, but somehow, in between all the crazy grant panel things, my PI found the time to read over my draft and sit down with me to talk it over (right before he had to run off to another meeting, as a matter of fact). It gives me the warm fuzzies. There's nothing quite like a PI who will make time for you. They're always supposed to, but very few will tell you "Okay, I'm kinda busy the next two weeks so you might have to wait until right after that" and then still somehow got it done for you within a week.
I think it made my week.
Lab next to ours is sonicating things this evening, causing me to flee lab early. The sound made me feel like my brain is being sonicated. Perhaps all my brain cells are disassociating. Wendy and I ended up putting on our ear phones, taking them off every once in a while, hoping that the others'd be done, but they never were. I ended up aliquoting over 100 tubes of antibody on dry ice while wearing my XKCD shirt. Clearly aliquoting antibodies is a dangerous sort of business and requires other people to stand back. Well, maybe the dry ice, because if you inhale too much of it it can burn your nasal epithelium, so don't snort the dry ice, folks. (Not that you should snort anything in the lab. Even if it's a bio lab.)
Forgot what else I was going to say. Oh well.
