eliyesOkay, is it my imagination, or did the interface for logging in change in the last couple of hours?
Anyway...
The funny thing about sharing a lunch room with a small horde of scientists, secretaries, carpenters, and administrative scientists, is that they tend to post weird things in the lunchroom. For example, right now there's a big, multipage, stapled document taped to the cabinet above the microwave warning against boiling water in the microwave. On the counter next to this same appliance is a long diatribe against microwaves, listing all the horrible digestive disorders and cancers they can give you. On the fridge, there's some bold font vegan propoganda focussed on how meat-producing operations are the number one source of pollution in the world and how we should all be vegan because there are starving people in other countries. There's a weight watchers flyer on the wall and an ice cream cake in the freezer, plus two vending machines: one for chocolate bars and chips, one for pop.
And on my nightly round before I close up for the day, I walk through THREE floors of skeletons and stuffed* animals. To say nothing of the candied bugs on sale in the gift shop.
*We're talking taxidermy, here.
