Not cool. NOT COOL at all.

Came into lab at 8ish this morning and discovered that my wireless internet was not working. Subsequent checks told me the LAN connection's up, I can connect to other non-protected networks, and that other people can connect to the protected networks just fine. (This is discovered, of course, in the 5 minute interval between my experiment.) It finally came about that the certificate for authentication, which was not supposed to expire until October, expired/got corrupted and so I had to went through the whole setup/config part again. (Not cool.)

What with the actual experiments I have to get done this morning, I finally got internet just at 10:25am. Then the PI came out to talk (well mostly to wonder where Wendy is and for that I can't help), and I think I mentioned this, but he's such a dork. Lucy, you'd love him. He just made a reference about book1 of HP and how Hermione was saying (in the scene of Logic with all of Snape's potions) how a lot of wizards are very bad at logic and how that's like people taking genetics for the first time-- a lot of smart people just can't do it, since a lot of the genetics problem is very logic based (well more of the analysis part than the molecular part).

I need to hang out with more scientists. (Just the dorky ones, of course.)
