Subject: Year End Reports
Hey everyone!
There's a green binder on the empty desk in Room 1817 for everybody to put their Year End Reports. Please place your report behind the divider with your name. The dividers are arranged alphabetically by first name.
Also, just because we're all in the office writing our YERs, we should not allow for our lab benches to get too messy; annual safety inspections are upon us...
Happy Holidays, and good luck!!
Anne

You're just lucky you don't sit next to Olivia King. She's listening to "Last Christmas" on loop, and her headphones are LOUD.

They have mac 'n cheese! I've had a craving since last Friday. We have to go. I'm totally in. I'll e-mail Bex, Mary, and Lydia. I think my brother Mark can come too. When do you want to go?

I want to at least pretend I can work on this stupid thing until at least 7:30. . . that sound good?
Maybe invite Rick too? Not sure Mark wants to be the only dude.

So that "Just be conversational" advice you gave me? Not working.

That's because I forgot that you SUCK at conversation. FYI, Will, picking on someone and observing that they're not working? Not quite the way to endear oneself to another.

Can you read the sentence below and tell me if it makes sense? Thanks in advance!
This dissociation/reassociation mechanism, as well as the paucity of ethylene glycol in biological systems, certainly precludes the observation's physiological relevance.

Of course it is. You would not have sent it to me had it been anything less than perfect.

Emma, didn't I tell you NOT to bring these things up with him? You can't push him right now.
So, what did he say that's driving you crazy?

He's not saying. . . anything!!!
Well. Not completely true. He's avoiding talking about Jane, and now he's saying he has lunch plans with Harriet. HARRIET. MY UNDERGRAD.
I don't get it. I don't get him at all. And now I can't focus on anything. I can't write anything real. I can't think about BioB, anaerobic conditions, or anything!! All I can think of is him going out to lunch today with Harriet. I wonder where they're going.
Bah. Let's get lunch. I'm coming to get you.
