Playing catchup

So, if the weather holds out, we're headed to Letchworth today. I'm simultaneously glad (our group will get it out of the way) and annoyed (our group wasn't exactly prepared.)
I spent most of yesterday getting things ready: getting the conductivity/temp meter calibrates, opening the pH tape, making a prototype water collector (Jean was supposed to do this. She got all the stuff, but she didn't put it together. Not that it was difficult. Actually, I felt very engineer-ish duct taping a sampling cup to a long extendible poll) and heading out to ECMC (WITHOUT GETTING LOST! HA!) to get sample bottles for the Nitrate tests they are doing.
Meanwhile, everyone else.. didn't do much.
It's all our faults that we didn't get on it all sooner. We knew we were going out today, we just didn't DO anything for it.
I'm a little irritated at one person, in specific, actually.. Heather. She's extremely talkative, extremely bossy and, so far, hasn't done much for the GROUP. *annoy*

On another topic, my work computer is broken :(
Well, it's not the end of the world. At least I don't have to pay for it!
Basically, the memory chip seems to have kablooed. As such, I'm sitting on a Sun in the Bell Lab. I can still read email and lj and stuff.. just not from my very own work computer.

As I said earlier today, I'm afraid I may be coming down with something. My throat is really sore (and has been all night) and that's (unfortunately) usually a sign that I'm going to be sick. *sigh*
It seems like everyone involved in the Buffalo trip is suddenly sick.
Curse you, Lord Murphy :P

In other other news, I've started building again.. on MattRhost (run by [livejournal.com profile] thematt). I forgot how much I enjoyed just building without worrying about the running of the game. I'm just happily building a spacestation. It'll be of the usual LITE fare.. with "puzzles" and pop culture references (for example, the Genesis Device I want to stick on the spacestation, probably in the science section) and I'm just having fun building it and planning it :)
Yay, fun :)

Not a whole lot else I feel the need to talk about, so I guess I'll finish this up.
Hasta, my peeps!
