Hmm...

There are times and circumstances that force one to reevaluate one's choice of occupation and/or place of employment.

Finding oneself walking through the halls with a liter of e. coli in one hand and a fully grown cucumber in the other is one of those circumstances.

Cucumber flavoured oatgurt maybe? You grad students need to co-operate with your projects!
Great blog Sam, your publisher obviously just hasn't read your proposal/extract/whatever its called or it would be published by now :)

Unfortunately, a few of them have read the stupid thing... it's too "quirky" for them. *Shrug*

Yeah, cucumber flavored oatgurt would make me question my role in life, but perhaps not so much as multiple liters of e. coli. I've had people think I was carrying beer around before (in lab flasks? I don't think so). I think maybe that shows the disconnect between me and normal people.
