i cursed the lab

got in at 9am to Do Columns and... the positive air pressure wasn't.

I have therefore spent a lot more of today (1) reading a book and (2) sleeping than I'd intended, though I also got a couple of productive chats with colleagues in, and am now resigned to a long lab day on Monday, though this will require some negotiating as someone else has booked the hood.

ASSUMING, OF COURSE, THAT THE AIR HANDLING UNIT IS FIXED BY THEN, which it very well might not be.

meanwhile I have spent the evening (1) watching The Blue Planet and (2) getting started on my talks, which I'm not actually sure when I'm delivering, the easier of the two of which is Aren't Rocks Great Though in the style of tumblr infographics i.e. entirely in comic sans and lower case except for EMPHATIC CAPS. it is currently ~20 slides long (and I have no doubt I will be adding more) which means that it is Sufficiently Done for a bit under an hour of shouting about rocks, so I should... move on to actually writing the serious one about debugging.

I can't decide whether this means the vacuum leak was completely ineffective, or TOO effective. Advise?

(Or is it different machinery entirely)

Well, that sucks. Or at least, doesn't blow.

the easier of the two of which is Aren't Rocks Great Though in the style of tumblr infographics i.e. entirely in comic sans and lower case except for EMPHATIC CAPS.

Will this talk (or the slides) be shared anywhere when it's done? I would like to hear (or see) the shouting about rocks.

I would love to see the slides or other summary/notes after the talks.
