I was bored recently, and instead of running another chromatographic column (simply a “column” in the parlance of organic chemists; you can’t see it, but I am adjusting my monocle as I write this), I decided to play with MS Paint. Coincidentally, this conversation had happened recently and was, therefore, running through my head:
Me: Well, the day sort of just began, so maybe not quite yet.
Gorthol: ...isn't it just after midnight where you are?
Gorthol: what sort of schedule are you on?
RflRob: A chemistry grad student schedule.
Me: An organic chemistry grad student schedule.
Me: It is worth noting that Carreira, Gassman, and Meyers are all synthetic organic chemists.
gorthol: so...are you intentionally working in the area where people work hardest?
An update/response:
Tall Metal: that's a funny comic... did you draw that?
Tall Metal: that hits home, heh
Me: I wish I could actually draw; I just changed the text in Paint.
Me: So, hits home? Did you kill a hooker?
Me: (Maybe?)
Tall Metal: hahaha
Me: I like how your laughter (which could be interpreted as nervous laughter) is neither a conformation nor a denial!
