According to Tom, our fiscal person, “jumped the gun” yesterday. We’re not completely broke. I do wonder, however, by how much he jumped the gun. Six months? One month? A week?

In happier news, I saw footprints today! You may recall my spazzing out over seeing bands on a film last week. That night, I put the film between two intensifying screens and threw it in the -80 freezer. I meant to pull it out over the weekend but…well…I forgot. I remembered it this morning and ran downstairs to develop it. The autorad was overexposed, of course, but there were some very clear, obvious footprints. My loading wasn’t even horrible! Sadly, the region that was the most important to duplicate was too fuzzed out to read clearly, so I have to repeat it, but I’m certainly encouraged.

I also found out today that Tom took my name off of a poster for the Mkrn3 footprinting. Jixiu wrote an abstract for some upcoming local jollification…er…poster session and put my name in the middle of the list of authors, as I’m repeating his footprinting work. Apparently one of Tom’s revisions was to take my name off. I wonder if he’ll put it back now.
