    Tomorrow, Im thinking about wearing my t-shirt that says:
    Particle physics gives me a Hadron

    I need to make a statement. Things are too boring around here. I work in science education, btw.

    That's great.

    if you are going to stink the place up with your nasty lunch, at least do it at the same time as the other guy that stinks the place up with his lunch.

    and enough with the speaker-phone!!!!

    I lose more staplers this way...

    you should throw erasers
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    You could staple this yucky yellow pillow to the conference table. Get it nice and secure.
