Life in the Lab

We got free food at the lab today. A company trying to sell special pipettes for lab work brought cookies, fruit, crackers, and cheese, and a lot of posters explaining these excellent pipettes.
Most people, though, mainly concentrated on the free food :)

Our room in the building was freezing today!
It used to be a room full of computer servers, so it has a solid AC that's turned up all the way for some reason. Apparently, there is also no way to turn it off, either. There are no servers left in this room, by the way...
Tomorrow, I'll get my winter jacket in there :)

Marcel went to a job interview yesterday. He was interviewing with a company that buys cows from farmers across New Zealand, butchers them, and then exports the meat overseas. Their biggest client is Burger Kind in Japan.
Part of the interview was a visit in the factory. Poor Marcel smelled like dead meat for the rest of the day ;) If he gets/takes the job, he will be working as a systems administrator, by the way, so he won't have to do any meat cutting!
