A Week In The Life
The biggest problem with working through the week, is that you have to spend most of your time working, through the week. The week went by quickly and uneventfully, for the most part, and I really didn’t get a chance to get out much. However, focusing on the career meant securing two promotions over five days. I’m sure that’s worth it, I keep telling myself.
I talked to Kimberly a few times, but we never got a chance to go out for the evening. I was just too tired after work to head out.
After work on Monday, I returned home to find … well, a giant specimen tank. On the front lawn. The lab had sent it over as a reward for all my hard work, but I’d honestly rather have the money.
I mean; look at the thing! I don’t have space to spare, but they keep giving me this free lab equipment. For now, I put it out back, “hoping” that nobody’s going to steal the thing.
Who am I kidding? Anybody stupid enough to steal a huge empty specimen tank deserves to have it.
On Tuesday, I upgraded my SimRay Steve, and spent a few hours making everyone change their clothes. Pointless, stupid fun.
PJs for everyone!
On Thursday, I nearly burned the lab down after an experiment went horribly awry. Singed my eyebrows pretty bad, and needed a shower and new lab coat.
The lab sent me home to rest, with a suggestion that I work out some dexterity issues. I bought a workbench on the way, figuring it could help. Or, I’d bleed to death after a disastrous slip with a chisel.
Thursday ended without mishap, and I was starting to anticipate another weekend. But that’s when Friday happened.
