I spend the day at the lab yesterday, which meant renting a car to drive out there. Definitely not a bad day except for the two-and-a-half hours to get home (took an hour there). Luckily I made it home just before the thunderstorms, so Dante could appropriately freak out with me.
What was good about the day was that I again got to feel the "Welcome back" vibe, and in some cases from people I didn't know before. This has been a running theme when I see people again here, there's sort of a sigh of relief that I made it back to the city, after having been exiled for three years in the wilderness. (Of course, the 'burg was nothing like that, but you tell that to New Yorkers.)
Either way, as much as I complain about the lab, it's a good place to go to once in a while. They have a lot of seminars, which we don't have (although there are plenty of universities in the city that do as well), and people in my field to talk to, so I can stay abreast of everything.
Of course, my laptop arrived in the office yesterday, so I didn't get it since I got home so late, so you know what this means: Not getting any work done today (except for that class I have to teach!)!
