Today has been the most fun day at work in quite awhile. For my newer readers, I work at a multi-user analytical facility at a large research university. We have lots of fancy, expensive “science machines” (microscopes and spectrometers) that engineering and science students use (kind of like CSI, but not really).
Today’s highlights include:
-Some sales guys are visiting our facility to do a demo of a fancy microscope (optical profilometer) that can take topographic images (of pretty much anything) with angstrom resolution in the Z direction (vertical). I hope we buy this new science toy.
-The sales guys treated me to lunch at Chipotle
-My favorite service guy is here repairing another instrument
-An undergrad student I trained two summers ago who I haven’t seen since just stopped by my office to tell me hi, that she’s graduating, and all about her new job. Things like this make me really like my job.
-I neither have a headache nor feel exhausted nor want to hide under my desk and sleep for the first time in a week. I think maybe I had a mild cold/virus.
