Been thinking about one. I have a half gallon tall that may just work. Or an air powered acclimation box.

Maybe. They're probably the reason I don't need to clean the acrylic yet.

No email yet...

Weekly update for contest entries

Dosed some mb7, restor, vodka, and LaCl. The last one was the least well measured because I like to live dangerously I guess.

Good luck, I've done some wild interviews this week.

One girl would look straight at you, close her eyes, then answer you - keeping her eyes closed the entire answer.
One guy when asked why he was interested in working for our company said "so my family doesn't have to live on the streets."
One woman started yelling about some video game system mid interview, with no context.
Same woman walked in, sat down, didn't introduce herself, and started complaining about her husbands cat immediately.
Many people volunteered that they hated their previous bosses and the bosses were the problem. (yes, I know that can frequently be the truth, but it starts you off seeming combative and unable to take direction).
One girl came in in a grease stained dirty shirt.

Just you know... avoid all that.

Well, maybe they read that they were interviewing the "unfriendly local swamp witch". Some were scared of you, some wanted you to curse people/pets/video game consoles, that one guy was looking to make a deal (trade your soul for your family sort of thing), and the last woman obviously just guessed at swamp witch dress code.

they trying to keep their unemployment checks?

I'll do what I can, no promises.

One I am using to see what I am worth across town (not too interested in the job itself cuz it's a lateral move to a worse facility). The other is also lateral in title but across the country. Both is systems as opposed to standalone, so there may be growth potential.

The news is that there is no news.

Except for the new controller cabinet I made.

Trash can is going to be gravity fed ato. Section on the bottom for dosing chem. Top, controllers. The irony of the smallest section of the controller cabinet being for the controllers is not lost on me.

Going with a pegboard approach?

So yeah, both hospitals want me for the next (final I think) round of interviews. One's in town and they want it on site, the other is in Washington so that will be virtual.

I'm starting to feel guilty about doing all this on the clock...

Is now the time I talk to my boss that I'm looking elsewhere to get what I want?
