You know you’re too fucking science geeky when you insult someone by saying, “do you have trisomy 18 or something?”. The closest you get to anyone knowing what you might be talking about is the (very) few people who say, “Down Syndrome??”. Then you have to say, “No, that’s trisomy 21, this is Edwards syndrome, it’s worse.”
So I’m back to calling people fatuous, at least I can send them to dictionary.com to look it up if they don’t know it (though, really, it’s more fitting when they don’t)

Quote of the Day
“Break down an entire banana including the peel…you’ll have to invent something that breaks down all kinds of banana bonds!”
David
God I talk to a lot of people
“I don’t want you to die prematurely! You’re 31 and eating popcorn for dinner, that just has butter on it.”
“I also had caramel corn…that has sugar on it…and nuts!”
Conversations
1) It takes more babies, time and geological pressure than we can muster to make our own source of fossil fuels.
2) The dimetrodon died to fuel our freedom.
3) “You are not a unique snowflake. You are just one ice crystal in the glacier of hatred that rumbles through the valley of my life.”
4) It’s Hump Day, do your part or terrorism wins.
5) Can you call child protective services before a child is conceived? (this conversation was actually funnier than it sounds, though the reality is possibly sadder than we realize. Hooray for birth control I say).
6) “Solipsism is an art I perfected. You are just a blank screen I project on. No, seriously.”
Self Control
It’s freaking cold in my office but the guy in charge of the heat is on vacation leaving the guy in my department that i despise more than anyone else (here at work at least). He and i have verbally tangled so many times in the last couple days that I can not call him up because it will mean he will have to actually come into my office and I will have to look at him and try not to kill him.
The exchange would go like this…
Him: ooh is it too cold for the princess?
Me: Fuck you, you stupid fucking motherfucker get out of my office before I have you fucking dismembered and fed to pigs.
Stuff like that doesn’t look so good on your permanent record. Later interviews would go something like this…
Me: I have great interpersonal skills
Potential boss: before or after you threaten murder people?
so you see my dilemma.
I’ll bully out the cold.
