Just go home now.

This morning as I came into work it was bloody, stupid cold. I don't like cold. Just because I'm from Canada doesn't mean I'm used to this. I like spring and fall, which is good, as those are the two seasons that exist on Vancouver Island. Someday, I will return.

Anyhoo, I was planning on getting off the subway and scittering into the basement of the university. There are a series of tunnels that allow me to cross the entire campus without seeing any nasty outside ( or indeed any light of day). When I got off the the subway there were about 5 gadzillion (11) firetrucks and ambulances blocking my way. Therefore, I couldn't go scittering along like a nice warm rat in a tunnel. I had to walk across the cold, cold campus the long way.

I think I froze my eyeballs.

Then I get to my office and open the door and startle the workmen who have moved all the furniture, laid down plastic and are up on ladders doing random things up above the ceiling tiles. As it was a holiday, they had assumed no-one woiuld be in (which is really silly. Grad students work at entirely random hours and often very long hours).

So I picked up some office stuff and schlepped down to my lab to set up shop.

I'm wondering if I should be in today.

Oh! and congrats to Zombs for getting some over the weekend.
