Chaos

My permit expired today so I had to go pick up my new one, but I was paranoid that the transportation police would write me a ticket because they're ridiculous like that. Therefore, it was absolutely necessary to leave them a note:

I think it worked because there was no ticket on my windshield when I got back to my car. I did a small victory dance in my mind. :) Anyway, I ended up not even getting the permit. I stood in line for over half an hour turning into burnt toast, but the line only moved half an inch. My ghetto note will do for the time being.

Lab was pretty crazy today. We were training the mice and they kept falling off the of Rotarod--all of them except this one crazy beast that decided it would be fun to jump from the Rotarod onto the cabinet shelf and behind a bunch of voltmeters. It took us nearly 30 minutes to catch that dumb thing. Urine and feces were flying in ten different directions as we were frantically moving around the small room; it was pretty much a carnival, really. At the very least, I'm grateful for the fact that no one walked in to witness our mouse stalking/looking like psychos.

I can't wait to wash my car tomorrow night though I don't know why I bother. I know the weather forecast says that it'll be 93 degrees, but given my luck it'll probably rain Wednesday.
