Silver Lining

It was a rather horrible end to the working week. I have a feeling that the big guy here thinks I'm moving along too slowly.

I have to admit. It is rather slow. But can I help it, if I needed to alter the designs, learn the fabrication methods from scratch (and my tecnhique is not even perfected yet), wait for the primers to arrive (not my fault), try to get PCR amplicons, test and get weird unexpected results (again, not experimental errors on my part, but unforeseen factors), analyse the results, wait for new primers to arrive again, and so on. It just wasn't pleasant to hear 'there may not be any good results at the end of 6 months'.

I hope I'll be able to prove him wrong.

Then again, who's to define what's good? While I cannot promise results, at the end of the 6 months, I'll be leaving with new skills, a new set of knowledge. I win. But will there be a loser? I hope not.

The silver lining of this is the start of the weekend, and even better, when I saw the monstrance in church.


A monstrance! That can only mean two things. Either a Novena, or a Holy Hour. Since I seriously doubt they will hold a Novena here, it must be a Holy Hour. I was right. One whole hour of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

What bliss.

I’m rejuvenated. Time to work my arse off.
