trip prep

[opabinia]

I'm waiting for help with my protein assay. Someone's teaching me a quicker, fancier, more accurate way of doing it.

On Sunday I bought a tie-worthy shirt, lightweight khakis, and one pair of undies. (I hate that. Same goes for "pants." It's just one pants. Pant. Whatever.) I now own enough non-threadbare non-sport/casual clothing for my trip (not that the underwear matters. It's not that kind of trip.).

I don't want to wear frayed pants and band t-shirts when I meet up with STE. I want to look like someone who could conceivably make a decent living. I still have to buy black shoes. Mine are too beaten up.

The 10-day forecast for Houston shows scattered showers during my trip. I wanted some nice sunlight to turn me from Jaundiced Yellow to Spic Tan. The Earth can kiss my ass.

Lemme see... I have access to a garment bag. My hair will be the correct length -- short, but not too short. Apart from the shoes, I think I'm all set.

Seven days 'til Houston. Can you tell I don't travel much?

It's always good to be prepared. What if you got into an accident? Would you want the EMTs to see your dirty undies?

Knock it off. I don't plan to have any accidents, and I don't wear dirty undies. ;P

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out:

if the accident is bad enough, your undies will be dirty, period.

don't worry, their conversation wasn't about an accident but rather was related to a situation you had with them in which something along the lines of what was said below happened:
"I'm waiting for help with my protein assay. Someone's teaching me a quicker, fancier, more accurate way of doing it."

(i'm kidding with you because you're AWESOME!)

if i recall correctly, last time you attempted this, you ended up with a nice sunburn.
