What are some of the wierd things that happen or that you just see/hear about where you work or go to school.

I have a small list forming as of late due to the shear number of things that...even in this environment (ER) really kinda make me take a moment to remember.


-----Will post events as soon as I leave work-------


But please get it started.

You know what I would do? I would get a recorder and place it next to the door. They ever piss you off, DRUG RAID!!

At any rate, I dont have much to tell, I work in a lab, I play with termites and a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. I suppose the wierdes conversation so far was

"Oh this one's a big boy. Very..well endowed" Colin was refering to the testicles of a termite he just dissected. They took up about a quarter of the animal's abdomen.

Right now I'm working in a quiet plant tissue culture lab, which is nice but doesn't form great stories.

However, last summer I interned at the American Humanist Association in Washington, D.C. As part of my work, I went to several protests. I was standing in front of the Supreme Court, holding signs and getting photographed by tourists who apparently thought that we were some part of the tourist attraction. "Look, mommy! Real protestors! Just like on TV!"

You go to UT, right?

Damn, I won't be a cop for awhile yet. Oh well...

EDIT: Of course directed to Shark Bait. And I'm talking about the University of Tampa, not Texas.

Yep I go to UT, I have reported it to Tampa PD, i'm wating for them to do something but the dont have much to go on other than me saying "I heard them talking about it, and i know they smoke pot in the room regularly." I dont know we will see what happens i guess.

EDIT: back on the origional top of this thread I got a chem test back the other day and for a few equations I did not put in the propper units of measurment through most of the equation except at the end. so I got full credit on the questions but the professor was not happy with how I got them, so he gives me this look and says "You got lucky this time bait", I look him dead in the eye and say "I didn't get lucky, I'm just that damn good."
