overheard from courtney

courtney forgot her laptop today, so she's working on a desktop in the main lab room. this is magnificent, because we can hear her cursing & muttering.

9:30A (to computer, in singsong voice): why is this being a bitch?
9:32A: this computer is filthy!

9:37A: oh hi,
*NPR intro comes on loudly*
9:38A: oh, god!

I can't quite tell, as she is keeping the volume respectfully low, but my guess is she is listening to Rave On Buddy Holly, which, unrelated to the topic at hand, is MOST highly recommended, especially track 5.

9:51A, a wonderful tidbit of irony: "katie, do you have any dishes you want to go in the dishwasher?" *peers in katie's office* "oh, nevermind, I guess I'm just talking to myself..."

10A - 12P: lab cleaning spree, sadly devoid of (audible) mutterings.

12:04P: *BANG! DESK RUMBLE!* oh, dear.

12:05P: Courtney is alerted to the existence of today's post.
-giggles
-more giggles
-"well, when you put it that way, I sound crazy"
-a nice tri-office giggle.

12:49P: oh, for heaven's sake!

1:24P: oh, you're beautiful, you clean lab.

1:45P: fin. working sans laptop proved impossible.
