Watson

I finally got a new computer at work (only took 6 months) and as a true geek, I've decided to name it Watson. Partly, because research is a bit like detective work (and with the computer as my sturdy assistant, that makes me Sherlock), and partly after Dr James D. Watson who won a Nobel Prize for co-discovering the structure of DNA. The reason for the latter is because the man is a total jerk which I can use as justification when I shout abuse at the thing when it inevitably will refuse to do what I want it to do.

Also, I have discovered that Bikini Kill is the perfect music for a Friday afternoon.

I can do science me

"I am very pleased to inform you that your above mentioned manuscript has now been accepted for publication in the International Journal of Obesity."

Yay! The article I wrote as a part of my Masters has finally been accepted, meaning that I am now officially a scientist.

Also, I have found out that I am just 6 years older than the computer I'm using to write this on.
