Aaaaand we’re back.
I’m sure you are wondering where in the absolute cluster-fudge I’ve been the past two months. Well it went down something like this… July 12th, 2016 – Thanks to ‘Brexit’ (I think… political advisors/economists please confirm) I was laid off from my job along with 30ish other people at our quaint little bio-lab in Boston. The company was U.K. based, soooo all of our equipment and robots and such is being shipped to the U.K. site by the end of 2016. Needless to say the human beings are not making the trip. Minor setback. Not my fault a bunch of Brits want to separate from a union of countries. Heck, we ‘Mericans did it to them. Classic case of penis envy. To Scotland: You’re more than welcome to join us as the 51st state.
Rest of July – Impromptu vacation. The first week of “fun-employment” was chock full of video games, farting, eating, farting some more, hitting the gym, wearing nothing but tank tops and gym shorts, iced coffee milk-only, and more eating/farting. Thanks to a modest severance package, I had me a little stay-cation.
August 1 - 24, 2016 – Ok, time to get serious. Shiny,new, updated resume in hand it was now time to whore myself out to the Greater Boston biotech community. I was one of the hottest free agents in the streets. We're talking LeBron's "The Decision" hot. Fresh pancake hot. Eliza Dushku clothes shopping scene in "The New Guy" hot. Had about 4 or 5 interviews with various companies doing various bio-techy things. Some I liked, some I didn’t. Some called with an offer to which I declined, and some never called back like 99% of the girls I meet. Alas, I ended up with a new gig that turns out to be a stone’s throw from my apartment. Siqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq. Actual footage of my first day entrance...
August 24 - Present Day – I'm a scientist again! YAY! The new lab is pretty rad. Doing some vaccine work and supporting the team by running various bio-assays. Big boy stuff. Pays better than the old gig, and the commute is about 6 minutes. Go figure.

Bottom line: Your boy is back. Now that I’m somewhat settled into the new 9-5, hopefully I can get back to writing. I’d like to personally thank the 4 of you that were reading my blog consistently back in the spring/early summer. Everyone else… buckle up. ‘Bout to get re-lit in hurrrrr.
