Monday I started a new position doing R&D at a pharmaceutical company. I’d like to tell you what the job is like so far but I don’t think I know yet. First order of business is to read and sign 129 SOPs. That’s thousands of pages of technical documents. Guess what I’ve been doing nonstop the last couple working days. I also have an upcoming interview for another job I had applied for ages ago this Friday. The offer from my current job was not particularly competitive, so there’s a good chance this one—academic no less—might actually pay the same or more. In other news I’ve been playing racquetball the last month. I’m not particularly good at it but it’s a blast. My playing partner is the guitarist from my band. The gym we found is this ancient community sports house and has a bar in the gym. How cool is that?
