Better today.

Today started out mighty crappily, but then when I was sitting at my desk trying diligently to figure out a computer problem that I really don't know how to solve, the phone rang.

It was a collaborator, saying that one of our experiments worked.

Hooray!

It's a small hooray, since there's still tons of things to do, but, data nonetheless.

And as you know, I love data!

And now I am almost done with my experiment for the day, so the prospect of getting even more data has me rather relieved that I will not go home empty-handed yet again.

I hate going home empty-handed.

And dinner is going to happen soon. Very soon. I like dinner.
