Welcome to TotallyMedicinal, my blog looking at the world of pharmaceutical chemistry, what it means to me, and how medicinal chemists go about their day to day job. If you have any questions or enquiries that you don’t want to post directly onto the si
a note about the blog…
I attached a new domain name to this blog: http://suite-6.net/
You can still use: http://lurking-chihuahua.net too ! The new domain is for my old office which was in Suite 6 in a row of vintage 70’s townhouse office buildings.
tuesday evening…
We went for a bike ride in Black Hills park after work. There was a minor thunderstorm in progress as we rode. LB called me and tried to talk me out of riding in the storm, but Sweetous was insistent that we ride, so we did. We got wet, and I am worn out now, but otherwise it was a good ride. Sweetous tells me I did better than yesterday. Good thing we finished though ’cause on the drive home the thunderstorm intensified quite a lot.
This storm was pretty minor though compared to one last summer when we were watching the Parish farm; a ferocious thunderstorm was in progress and we had to go in the field and bring the animals in. That was scary as hell!
The new office is nice, although still a lot of chaos as things are not all set up yet. To me though there is a subjective experience of being crowded or something. Everyone is in much closer proximity than we were before and for me the change is somewhat drastic ’cause before I had my own office in a building that was devoid of other people most of the time. Now, I share an office in a building where everyone is just down the hall and the receptionist has the key to the bathroom. There is no objective evidence that the work environment will become more restrictive, but I am somewhat leery about that. We shall see.
On a happy note, they did have a free lunch in the break room yesterday and today. Today was particularly good: BBQ pulled chicken on hard rolls & pasta salad ! I love free food !
tuesday morning….
…busy at work transcribing a tape, another one of those rush jobs. The office is still in disarray from the move , but we’re working on it. Last night I did a half hour bike ride with Sweetous. We did pretty good, I was pleased because it had been over a week since we last rode…

thursday morning…
I am at my desk having a breakfast burrito and surfing the web. Last night after work, I went to see the new building, and was able to inside. That is a first class building ! My office is small but the desk is really big; the file room is cavernous. The kitchen is really nice too. Monday will be the first day at work in the new place. The last of my boxes are stacked and waiting for pick up and most of my stuff is ready to go. There is still a lot of “stuff” all over the building, but most of it is not mine. I suppose that today and tomorrow will be rather chaotic.

…been working late for the past three days ! Anyway, I have 33 boxes of old files ready to go and that should be all, unless someone from the other building dumps a load over here ! Of course I am also busy with my spreadsheets, so yeah I am busy !
We did a road trip this past weekend to see my Ma and also Gretchen (niece) got married. Ma seems to be doing much better, she is out of the hospital and was at the wedding, very good !
I found something gross in the file room today: a small cooler, under a table, behind some boxes, been there for years. I opened it up and discovered a couple opened cans of tuna, some mayo, and a substance that had been a loaf of bread at one time. It was awful, stunk to high heaven ! This was immediately consigned to the dumpster.
Now, I shall drive home, looks like there will be a hellish storm tonite.

The prosecutor in this case ought to be impeached and disbarred and the school IT person is clearly incompetent ! It appears to me that the jury was a bunch of fools too !
