(and not the Styx song…)

Not too much to do at work today. The reaction I’ve been waiting to run since Thursday still can’t be done because the fume hood where the reactor resides is still unusable due to a burned-out fan motor. I sure hope it’s up and running tomorrow, otherwise it’s going to be crunch time come Thursday.

Why Thursday? It’s a short week for me. We set out for Chicago Friday morning aboard American Airlines. It was originally supposed to be Friday evening, but we clicked on the wrong option on the website. The tickets came, and lo and behold: they said 9:40 AM instead of 6:40 PM departure. Ah well. We’ll be having lunch with Dan’s mom and dinner with friends on Friday night, so it’s fine by me.
