Break Time

Because the chief scientist was giving a little talk during the beginning of our shift, we didn't have to start our watch until midnight, which was a nice break. I spent my free time in a cutthroat game of Trivial Pursuit, guy against girls. Unfortunately we lost, but I blame that on the fact that it was an 80's edition and only half our team was born before the 80's began. There were many questions about Michael Dukakis and Grenada and the invention of the microwave. Alas. Three more shifts to go!!! ... not that I'm counting or anything, but I could really use a good long bath. A shower is a very tricky proposition involving washing your hair with one hand whilst keeping a good grip on the railing with your other one, not to mention the slick floor.
