Beware! As my latest victim in the RStudio saga would tell you, it all starts with an innocent question and invariably ends in misery and down the rabbit hole... Don't say I didn't warn you!

From the saga "Why is my Rstudio not working?"
Three people, 2 hours and several updates later, my pipeline_query is still stubbornly refusing to work and insisting on puzzling the pipeline_eng folk.
One more for the collection...
One advantage of being a pirate is that your eyepatch makes you even more fashionable at parties... and always prepared for photobooths ;)
New Job
Someday I might have time to finish posting the pictures of our trip to the Colorado Plateau. Meanwhile, I am too busy doing now what patients need next. Here are some pictures to prove it.
The adorable welcome sign at my desk
...and that welcome pole, in front of my newly installed bench space,
that the maintenance guys probably felt wasn't too much in the way

Company picnic at an amusement park
One of the many lunch meetings with delicious free food and presentations
Mid week lab outing to the lake for inspiration
Just another ordinary Friday's meeting,
with Alex flaunting his pretty birthday butterfly balloon
Playing with fire at the best team building event ever
Boehringer Oktoberfest
Free beer, food, live music and a first prize won on the raffle by accident. Plus the giant cell culture bioreactors.
Tasseomancy
Today in pseudoscience, fortune says my mouth will be tasting like
coffee grounds for the rest of the day.

Someone's got (t)issues...
Out of tissues? Not an issue.

The trizol incident
Late at night, in the lab...
"Hello. Is there an emergency?"
"Yes! My colleague spilled a hazardous chemical on her leg and needs medical assistance."
(pause)
"I'm sorry! Who am I speaking with?"
"M***** *****"
"Sir, why are you calling from the emergency elevator phone?"
"We... didn't know what number to call at this time of night...?"
(second pause)
"Ok. I will send an ambulance. Has the chemical been isolated?"
"Hello. Is there an emergency?"
"Yes! My colleague spilled a hazardous chemical on her leg and needs medical assistance."

Yeah, I guess the lady thought we were crazy! Who runs to the elevator instead of calling 911 when there's an emergency?!? Anyway... half a dozen firemen, a gurney, an ambulance ride and 40 minutes later there I was in the emergency room with a first degree burn on my leg in the shape of a heart. How cool is THAT??
Vending machine attack at 4:18
Life before high corn syrup fructose, while waiting for my stage 6 and 7 embryos.
The awesome vending machine!!!
And life after a chocolate bar, transformed into a scene from the movie Night at the Museum.
Not to mention the VLSB night security guard that actually showed up while I was taking this picture and that showed me a similar one he had taken earlier this week with the T. rex :)
Fruit fly philosophy
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
EDIT: I've been spending way too many hours observing embryos under the microscope. Last night I got home at midnight and then dreamed I had microscopic vision and could no longer focus on regular sized objects.
