opabiniaas job fairs go. Nobody made me want to punch them in the head. The one person who referred me to the company website did so while apologizing profusely and covering her head, as though she had already been punched today. She said they were specifically told by Powers That Be that only electronically-submitted resumes would be accepted. Another person said "Look at our website," but only because I asked for specific information about a position that they did not know well. A third person told me that a clinical position will open up next quarter, and that I should check the web site then. So no head punches.
Established a good connection with a small pharmaceuticals company (Sound familiar?). This one is in bed with Merck (for $100M). I hear Merck is a good lay. Anyway, the job would actually involve some preclinical research (feh), but that would just be a third of my time. The other two thirds would be cell culture and molecular stuff. I can deal with 33% mouse time. Fat paychecks can cushion the blow. There's also a purely in vitro position, which I would prefer. The point is to get my foot in the door. If I have to wave some dead mice at them to do so, I will.
There were two or three other potential matches elsewhere, but the details escape me, because it's definitely nap time. I'll look at my notes later.
No call back from STE. I'll email him.
If I don't take this nap, I won't be able to lift heavy things later tonight. Must accomplish goal: 85, 95, 105, 110, 115.

Hmm. The only small company that I know of doing business with Merck has an offsite animal facility. "Pine Acre - something-or-other." The exact name escapes me.

Smartass. I wonder how the Animal Facility Kid is doing. Immune system of a god, or Lyme Disease and Scabies?
