nerdy happy

*happy squeak*

I got my new 10-100 microliter pipettor today and Eppendorf sent me one of those neato ballpoint pens that looks like a little pipettor! They also sent me a really nice box of tips.

Cool!

It doesn't take much to make me happy. :D

Whenever a new postdoc joins our lab, they are allowed to buy something for themself (within reason). It's meant to make them feel more "at home," and the item has to stay behind when they leave. One of our postdocs a few years ago decided to buy an Eppendorf pipettor since that's what she used in her old lab, and all of ours are from Rainin. She, too, got the nifty pen...we were so jealous of it!! When she left, she left the pipettor behind (it is now collecting dust in a drawer because we all prefer our Rainins), but took the pen with her... heh...

Now you have one!! *nerdy jealous* :)

Heh heh... If I ever get another one, I'll send it to you.

You know, I bet you could call Eppendorf up and wheedle pens out of them. Sometimes if you're totally brazen, they'll give you stuff. I got a T-shirt out of Fisher that way (and when you were talking about your shirt with a big strand of DNA on it, I was dying laughing... thinking about my own shirt with a lab rat on it.)
