Don't look now, but it's the Trackstreet Boys.

We are supposed to get some snow in the mix today. Doesn't Mother Nature know that it is April 23rd? Snow should not even be mentioned on this date.

High tomorrow in Galveston is supposed to be an unseasonably low 60 degrees. No snow, though, so that's a plus.

AD - the next stage of As the Bunsen Burns is no good without pictures of said blown gasket.

I probably will not witness it myself. Poor Road Runner will be the one who has to deal with it. In the past, Bar Minion has been known to add herself as a co first author. She pulled this stunt on the grad student who was originally assigned to the project that our current manuscript describes. It's something I will have to watch for. Being the typical taker, BM will suck up to Road Runner and convince her that she should be first author. I seriously don't think it will fly, but I could be wrong.

That calls for pre-emptive strike, by hoping outloud and with great concern that BM is not so distressed that there is a repeat of the what happended with the current manuscript.

I don't think I have to worry about it. Unless I have totally misread Road Runner, she's on to Bar Minion. Besides, RR knows what happened with the current manuscript: Bar Minion is first author and did not do anywhere near as much work as I did. It also helps that Road Runner is not really narcissistic. If Bar Minion worked for Pushy PI (pictured in the dictionary under narcissist) the situation would be completely different. BM is easily as much a sycophant as The Minion.

BM didn't add herself as first author on this paper. She made herself first author for a poster that the former grad student was supposed to be presenting. BM effectively got the grad student kicked out of Road Runner's group and then took over the project.

GOUT

Emmitt Smith has had GOUT for 3 years. I think he will be doing a PSA for the 8 million people that suffer with GOUT, also. Which is a form of arthritis. Emmitt took alot of hits in the NFL, but looked smooth as glass on Dancing with the Stars, in Fall 2006.

He was just on WRAL, via New York talking about Gout, and going to the doctor, and getting on medication to relieve the pain of GOUT. Such a good man!!

Our Circuit Court judge was a defendant in court this morning for going 50 in a 25mph school zone.

The clerk had to get a judge from Richmond and the prosecutor came from the county north of the Varnish Zone, White Lightning County.

Also in a guest defendant role was the son of the General District Court judge, for 73/55.

So .... were the visiting dignitaries kind to their counterparts? Or did they shove the book at 'em?
Love, Ima

Not sure. I wasn't in court at the time, and we aren't supposed to ask. It's considered bad etiquette, for some reason.

In 24 hours it will be posted on the court's website, and I'll find out then.

Well, I had a fun day. The Boss called me in and told me that he has put me in charge of a project that one of his postdocs has been trying to get working for the past year. He said specifically that I will be held accountable if the method is not up and running within 2 weeks. This is the same project that I tried to work with the postdoc on several times before (once shortly after Wile E. Coyote joined our institution), and he has yet to listen to anything I tell him. Keep in mind here that I have 2 publications on a method relating to the one they're trying to get online - one of them is in The New England Journal of Medicine. I did some of the initial work on the current method (on the instrumentation part), but the postdoc took things over before I had a chance to finish all of my work - on The Boss' orders. He's doing things in a completely convoluted manner and argues any time I suggest a change. So, basically, my fate now rests on the work of someone who's doing things incorrectly and won't listen to anything I say when I try to fix it. Moreover, I wanted to make one of the necessary method changes today and The Boss vetoed it. Yes, I am annoyed and frustrated.

Why don't/can't you tell the boss "You've put me in charge of this project, and holding me accountable, because I know what I'm doing. I need to do this the way I know it can be done, without interference/contradiction from others who don't (including you...)."?

Pointy-toed shin kicks to The Boss. You are supposed to do in two weeks what the (apparent pet) postdoc hasn't been able to do in a year?
