The End of the Government Fiscal Year...

Means the end of my job. Today's my last day. I'm running around doing all the check out stuff I need to do, and thanks to hormones and the fact I really DID like this job, I had to come in to my office for a minute and sit down and cry. I know I'm doing what's right for me, but that doesn't mean this is an easy day. :P Especially because there are people here I truly, truly like, including my co-worker, my friend who works in IT, and (yes, believe it or not) my boss.

So, to cheer myself up, 10 things I will not miss about my job.

10.) The guy who orders stuff for me. For some reason, he utterly grates on my nerves.
9.) Anything that has to do with selenium. Even seeing the word makes me want to throw up.
8.) My lab. Over 100 degrees in the summer, below 60 degrees in the winter (until they turn the heat on- then it got up to 120 degrees), and utterly filthy.
7.) The bathroom out in my lab. Co-ed and shared with guys who don't understand that the toilet seat moves. I'm not talking about putting it down- I'm talking about putting it UP.
6.) Being a test subject for any time the food lab needs people to test samples. Like an ice cream makes up for some of the stuff we've had to eat.
5.) Heritage Days. They're kind of cool... if you're not supposed to be working then.
4.) Seminars. One of the guys in my group calls them Sleepinars. For every ten you go to, nine tend to be boring and completely unrelated to your researh.
3.) Washing lab dishes.
2.) Worrying that my exhaust system on my engine is going to fall down at any moment.
1.) THE COMMUTE!!!!!!!!

Fic! Happiness Where I Can Find It

I am no longer a post-doc. ::Sniff:: My boss even kind of choked up when he gave me a kiss on the forehead goodbye.

But anyway. Part 1 (probably of 2 or 3) of that R/S --> R/T fic is posted... here!. Happiness Where I Can Find It. I'm going to finish writing ASAP, because it's all sketched out and it's not THAT much longer. But the challenge deadline hit. :P

Why should you go read it? A few reasons.

1.) It's part of the hp_synergy challenge. Which means it has ART!!!! And the art is by the fabulous and talented andreanna. Even if R/T burns your eyeballs, click and scroll down to the last picture to check out her wonderful drawing of Molly.

2.) If you like R/S, there is much R/S. There is no way I would write something (except for that Remus/Alphard AU) where Remus wasn't involved with Sirius.

3.) If you like R/T, there is much R/T. Hey- it's canon. This is also not one of the "surprise! It's not really R/T!" or bashing Tonks fics.

4.) The romance is very non-graphic- it's really Remus centric.

Anyway, must go for a week. Enjoy!
