Day 521 of 1000

My friend Ashavini, here at Bioptigen sent me an email that describes the collaboration we are doing with a couple of grad students and a professor from the Applied Math department at NCSU.  It is very cool because Christian worked here one summer and will have one of the professors teaching his class starting next week.  Right now, I am sitting typing at my desktop on an old keyboard that has the delete key in an odd place, so I keep hitting “delete” when I want to hit “end”.  My new docking station for my laptop and 27″ monitor are out to be delivered, so life will get really good in just a bit because I just saw a REAL keyboard over on a shelf that I can confiscate.

After my snit yesterday, I had a good and very positive talk with all the involved parties.  It all worked out great.  Not good, great.  Even though it is cathartic to do that sort of thing now and again, it does not serve one well to get into a snit (general because one chooses to be offended) even in the short term, let alone the long term.  One thing that worked well in all this is remembering that “a soft answer turneth away wrath.”
