btw I'm putting "mpreg" up on the shelf permanently until you guys learn to be normal and not make babytrapping jokes. also question why pregnancy is emasculating and why emasculation jokes are funny

How sweet of you to invite me over. Hopefully you don't mind when I casually and discretely install a camera in every room of your apartment so you never have another private moment...? Every time I see your face, I'll remember every time I've watched intently as you squirm and moan on the screen as you pleasured yourself, and you'll smile back at me not knowing a thing.

Long time no talk, it feels like!

So I diiiiiidnt do as well on my anatomy midterm as I originally thought and I freaked out for a while because of it. I’m not failing! But I have like… a C? Right now, with like 30% of the work done? I’m sure I can raise it, I think I just didn’t study the right things for the midterm, which is unfortunate. Should’ve studied the skull more. That’s all, really. I dunno, I take these things really personally and see them as a reflection of my worth when it really shouldn’t. I just got worried, but I’m a good student. How did you guys find anatomy classes, if you’ve taken any?

yesterday i had to get my blood drawn and was freaking the FUCK out bc i am TERRIFIED of needles. and there was this amazing nurse there that came in and held my hand and comforted me during the procedure, and was trying to say how brave i was but the way she worded it was REALLY funny.

she just kept on repeating "If you can change your name to Todd, you can do anything" and like. i KNOW she meant that in a #transally way, but i couldn't help but think "damn, is my name really that bad that you think im brave for choosing it?"

I heard that the NMR machine has been on the fritz. 

Incidentally, that fucking thing is deeply necessary to me right now.

I still have no idea what “white crystalline solid, likes to form clumps about the size of a pinky nail and dissolves easily in chloroform” is.

Day: 724684

So this… thing… isn’t a carbon-based compound?? It doesn’t have the right peaks.

I haven’t seen Danny since last week, since they went to get their NMR samples out of the machine. I should text them. I should get my samples. They should be in bay 85, if I wrote it down right.

1d. First Day at the Lab - Outliers

Name: Ren

Day: 1

Funds: $ 100

Today is my first day working at Ar Leith Labs - I can't believe I finally landed a job!

To be honest, I didn't look too deeply into what they do at Ar Leith Labs - I basically sent my curriculum to every neuroscience research lab that was hiring. Now that I'm here, I can't even find a pamphlet explaining the research in detail.

Ok, I'll be professional and go introduce myself to my coworkers now; either them or the PI can tell me more about the job.

---

There are only two other research assistants in my group: Leanne and Perry; neither of them seems to be the chatty type, at least not with me. I was looking forward to meeting my PI, but Leanne told me that she has never shown her face around here.

Right then we heard the PI speak; it felt as if she was standing right next to us. This lab must have a pretty technologically advanced speaker system!

The PI's voice welcomed me and introduced herself as C.N, just her initials; she invited me to get acquainted with the lab environment, and help my coworkers out with anything they might need.

I found it a little odd that she's not meeting us in person, but maybe there's an excellent reason for it. I don't want to pry, especially not on my first day.

Nobody was available to give me a tour - lots of work to do, which is fair - so I walked around the lab by myself, studying the equipment. I didn't recognize any of the machines, except for the obvious desktop computer in the corner. That one even looks a little old, in contrast with the rest of the devices.

Leanne noticed me looking at the computer and asked if I know how to code; heck yeah I do, I took a few classes and I'm pretty ok at it! So she asked me to write a bit of code to generate graph data for her latest research data. It's strange that they don't have software for that already, but I decided to avoid asking any questions.

I took this opportunity to look over the data, hoping it would clarify what kind of research we're supposed to do here, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Oh, well.

I couldn't recognize the OS the computer is running either, but it seemed loosely based on Unix. I was making good progress until I started testing my code; I got the error "Unable to find or open '/Brain/TemporalLobe/Hippocampus/MISTAKE.png'". I'm 100% sure I never referenced this file, and what a bizarre name!

I immediately thought this must be a prank - Leanne and Perry must have planned this as a funny welcome for me. I resolved to laugh and tell them it was a cool prank; that would show them I'm chill.

Unfortunately, they kept insisting they didn't know what I was talking about. They looked annoyed, so I assume they were being truthful. Alright, time to debug.

A quick search of the codebase and external libraries for the file path in the error message yielded no results. I tried looking just for "Mistake.png" and got nothing once again.

Interestingly enough, though, "Ren/Brain/" exists, except there's only a "temp" folder in there. Maybe I don't have the right access levels to see other folders? There doesn't seem to be a root user either.

I bothered Leanne and Perry to see whether they have access to the other folders - they don't, but they have their own users on this machine, with their own "/Brain/" folders. Also, my code wasn't available to them. They said the users were already set up for them when they joined, just like mine; IT support must be incredible around here.

In the end I decided to share the code with Leanne's user, in the off chance it would work for her. It did, just like I hoped, and Leanne got her graph.

I don't fully understand, but... great. Maybe I should talk to the IT support people, or take a few more coding classes.

---

The rest of the day was spent on boring menial tasks.

I bet my coworkers think I'm more trouble than I'm helpful, but hey - they'll change their minds, soon enough. After all, I didn't graduate top of my class just to be ignored at my job.

Luckily, at least C.N. already sees potential in me: before I left for the day, she said tomorrow I'll be tabling at an event called "The Gathering"! My first table, and on day 2? I can't wait!

I forgot to ask for the address, but I bet I can find all the info I need online. I'm obviously being tested, and I will show initiative, dependability, and bring a ton of new participants for the study!
