我的快樂 會回來的

Too many social events

I have been called late last evening by my friend saying that we should go listen to a cello concert next Thursday evening. I also have rock climbing that night. Wondering whether to go to both or not?
After work, I take my friend to the movie theatre to buy movie money for next week's Star Wars premier on midnight Wednesday. Wish everything will be ok. Too many social events! Maybe I should sleep before going to Star Wars and sleep again after the movie so I can get up and work on the next day. Too busy!
Work is going well but should use a pipette instead of a graduated cylinder to measure our 5 ml Triton X-100. It is a detergent, for God's sake, it sticks to every container that you put it into so you shouldn't put it in a container!
No plates in the farms so I won't be able to do any bacteria experiment until Friday.
Scare about Foot and Mouth disease out break in Waihiki Island, however until now it is still treated as a hoax. Vet will test the animals on the island and the stock will not be moved in or out of the island now. However, pets are not restricted.
If Food and Mouth is really here, then New Zealand will lose millions of dollars.
Australian rubgy league players are leaving Australia to play in Europe. Very sad. One coach loses players to injuries, tackle charges and oversea clubs. Sounds like he is not going to have enough players for the next test. Poor guy.
The Peter Dunn fiasco will not leave Helen Clark alone, but now she is fighting back saying that National is paying Peter's family to drag the dirty laundry out. I don't care. The whole thing is stupid and not about the ability she runs this country. Just like Winston Peters saying that ailing 70 years old Iraqi officials living in New Zealand is going to bomb us: that's outrageous and impossible. He can't even walk straight! He looks older than the Pope! How can he be a security risk? Winston looks like a laughing stock now. No body seems to notice how old the guy is and just focus he used to work the bad guys, but essentially, you need to be able to walk and move if you want to be a security risk.
Enough rambling. Should go back to the detergent experiment and keep my head down till boss comes back to find a very busy e-mail box. Hope this disease thing is not real otherwise we will face a bad economy.
