Ever have one of those mornings where you get out of bed and promptly step in poop? Just me? Well I woke up this morning and started down the stairs from my bedroom to the kitchen. Just as I get to the bottom I find that one of my furry little children has left me a present. Rotten little buggers! I suppose it could have been worse, but it is one of the grodiest (I may have made that word up) feelings in the whole world. When you're already bleary eyed and just want to be back in bed anyway, it just doesn't set the day up well.
I'm just hoping that's the worst thing that happens today. It's going to be another insane day at work with experiments lined up back-to-back. It's so much fun to learn all these new techniques and I really do enjoy being busy.
Things are a little tense here at work because we are waiting for word that the Pfizer takeover of Wyeth has been completed. Once that happens, everyone is waiting to find out whether or not they still have jobs. People are on edge and nervous because a new rumor comes down the pike every day. My contract is scheduled to end sometime between March and June, but I am really hopeful that once the takeover occurs, I will get picked up as a regular colleague. I love the work that I'm doing, and I am working with amazing people. I have heard that Pfizer doesn't hire their contractors, but I have also heard that they are considering making exceptions because of the merger. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Anyway, I'm hoping that my day picks up from here. I figure when you are standing in poop within a minute of waking up, there's nowhere to go but up ... right?
