I just got home last night and found this huge pile of mail overflowing from my mailbox. Apparently, the post office had not been delivering the mail due to some problem with our mailbox. I think I was suspicious enough to notice something was wrong, but too lazy to find out why until now. How many copies of the New England Journal of Medicine can you spot in this photograph? Today also marked the last day of work for my labmate Rajeev, who will soon be starting his cushy job at Novartis. There he will direct his countless minions to pursue great scientific endeavors while being pampered with a high salary and stock options, that poor guy. Btw, it’s amazing the kind of geeky factoids one learns from a mealtime conversation with a group of scientists. Over some yummy Indian food, I found out how asparagine was named (Was it that obvious?). And guess which political figure used to be an X-ray crystallographer? (Answer to follow…)
And if you say G.W., I\'m gonna smack you…
Due to the overwhelming response, I\'ve decided to spare you the agony. The political figure I\'m referring to is Margaret Thatcher, who before entering the political arena, was actually a grad student of Dorothy Hodgkin, a Nobel prize laureate known for her pioneering work in X-ray crystallography.
Err…..there are an awful lot of bills there. You mean, you haven't been paying your bills on time??? Nahhhhh. This is not the punctual Glenn I'm used to seeing.
Firstly, I do all my bill payments online now so the paper bills are just a formality. Secondly, what punctual Glenn are you talking about? =P
