Here’s lookin’ at you, kid

My job is boring. You might think, “Oh, cancer research, wow, that must be really exciting!” And I’m sure it is, just not in the lab where I work. Basically I sit around all day waiting for cancer cells to grow so that hopefully in a few days I can do an experiment on them. Then I have a few days when I’m frantically trying to get everything done, and then it’s back to not doing anything for a few days again. Right now I’m at a “nothing” spot. So that leaves me sitting at my desk with my assistant peering over my shoulder as I’m typing about how my job is so boring because we have nothing to do. Generally I don’t complain, because hey, I’m getting paid to not do much right now. But that still leaves me sitting around playing with the Pirates of the Caribbean toys I’ve been collecting from McDonalds; making my stuffed Captain Jack peer through the plastic telescope at my coworkers and saying, “yarrrrr matey!” And when I’m not doing that, I’m usually on www.perezhilton.com reading about the dumb new celebrity gossip or surfing myspace waiting to get a new message or quiz. I am so sad. I’m actually so bored at this moment that I can’t even think of anything interesting to say, so to spare you I’m gonna wrap this thing up now and wait until something exciting happens. Maybe something cool will happen at quizzo tonight (like I’ll win another shotglass for knowing that “the Voyage of the Dawn Treader” was written by C.S. Lewis. Good times.)
