My Nerdy Life

Here's an e-mail conversation that Robert and I just had.

Robert:

Rachel:
Nomenclaturally speaking, operating mass spectrometry instrumentations can often be prohibitively expensive since it must be done en vacuo.

Robert:
your paucity is appauling.

Rachel:
so was the way you spelled that word :)

Also, Monday he came home from work and tenderly told me that yes, he did have my favorite food on Earth for lunch that day (Papa John's). This sparked my interest because he's not a pizza fan(atic) like me. The following conversation ensues:

Me: Why did you have that?
R: well mass spectrometers are pressurized and must therefore be run en vacuo--in a vaccuum
Me: WHAT?!? I just want to know why you had pizza today instead of the lunch you took with you?
R: wait--I'm getting there...so these vacuums are very loud, but are essential for blah blah blah.......... (basically we got new tables for the instruments and had been moving stuff all day, so boss paid for lunch)

aaahhh...classic R&R

So I finally did it, I got a blog. I think the next step will be finding people who actually want to read it. That will likely prove to be more difficult.
