PI still operating on the "I want everything done, yesterday" notion, while the collaborators and I side-eye him because we are not sure if he's aware that he's spent 3 hours talking about additional experiments to do in the 10 days left of May and  that, in research, things...usually don't work on the first try.

Other than that, still hanging in there. Parents are coming to visit today, which will be some combination of awesome and exhausting and right now means I need to clean up the worst of the mess before they get here. Also: CA voting -- who on EARTH in Gary Wesley?? I tried to google that name briefly but it turns out it's a fairly common name and I'm...just confused how there's no proper opposition to props this time around.
