Cynically Optimistic

My weekend of sequestration with papers had been mostly fruitful. I feel fairly up to speed on most of the people with whom I will be interviewing. I printed nearly an entire ream of paper to peruse, and have worked through a nice chunk so far. It's pretty hard reading though lots of unfamiliar proteins and acronyms, but that's life.

I'm still on the fence re: tie / no tie. Maybe I can find a way to accessorize with an unused snow-shovel handle like this gargoyle I spotted in D.C.
