Spending money is fun.

Spending someone else's money is more fun.

Spending Inotek's money on pipettors and other HPLC equipment is well justified since I accomplished more on their problem in one afternoon than they have with 5 full-time techs.

Our postdoc was thinking of going up there for a job possibly, but after hearing about their rectal-cranial inversion, he's not too sure.

I am not an HPLC tech... but they seem to think that I am. One more skill for the resume.

I am not quite sure that "happy" is the word. I'm challenging a lot of work that they've done, so there's likely to be some convincing. But come on... with five paid techs... and the competition being dinky old me... you'd think they could do better.

Eh, postdoc says as long as they pay him for about a year, he doesn't care. :) He's a resourceful guy.

That should make them somewhat impressed at least... or yes, annoyed in some ways too...
I hope you can manage to convince them about your results in due time.

That's really up to the boss. He deals with them, not me, and we don't hear a peep unless there's a crisis... and now, the fallout. *shrugs*
