Oct. 23rd, 2002 06:36 pmInstead of doing something productive this evening, I think I'll re-do the rollover lesson from GoLive, and possibly the CSS lesson.
Signs you've been inhaling too much solvent: I had to do a very simple reaction to make the bromohydrin of an olefin. On working the reaction up, I found I had no product. This wasn't terribly surprising in retrospect because the starting material was still sitting in its vial on my bench.
Tomorrow will be dinner with an old friend who might be able to help me get my resume looked at by J&J. It would be too cool to work with him again; we were trouble when we were here at P'ton together and we can be trouble again. However, it might be a problem because we'd never get any work done.
Said friend reminded me of one of my favorite things ever said about me; we were in class once and the prof pointed to a molecule on the board and said that it was cantharidin. He then asked if any of us knew what cantharidin was, and I said immediately that it was Spanish fly. Prof looked at me in astonishment and said, "How do you KNOW all this shit?" (direct quote)
I think I like being a person who knows a lot of weird factoids about nothing important. Something to talk about at parties, I suppose.
