There are few things more satisfying than work well done

... Actually, there's probably a lot of things more satisfying than working, but here's what I've been up to the past few days...

The computer network was down at work for three days in a row (Monday through Wednesday), which was frustrating but fun when I discovered ways to get work done without My Documents. (Hooray for my flash drive and e-mail, which I used heavily as places to save and transport the work I did!)

Article #1: PhD student takes third in new ACS symposium, published Monday
Article #2: Lots of fun and food at annual department picnic, published Wednesday with pictures

When I wasn't sorting through 165 pictures (I got a little trigger-happy at the department picnic), revising articles, or finding creative ways to update the digital signage, I was catching up or getting ahead on school assignments... All told, a productive couple of days even though the odds were stacked against me!

Even so, I was very glad when I arrived for work today to find the network up and running once again.

  2. I also love it when I get a lot of work done. Good job on the articles. I can see why you took so many pictures... there was a lot to take pictures of. It looks like a fun party.
