Well, this morning definately had it's down side...
1. I spilled hot coffee down my neck and had to run back to my apartment to put cold rags on my scolded skin (burns weren't to bad though, the redness stopped looking so angry after about 20 minutes)
2. I slipped and nearly broke my neck on the sidewalk o' ice.
So then i made it to work safely, but the trauma didn't end there. I went to main campus to meet up with a subject for some prestudy cognitive tests...but i left the pen to my tablet PC in the office. DOH! So i had to reschedule the session. So today definately supports the bad things happens in groups of three theory. But the afternoon saw a spark. I spent a few hours on a literature search (search through articles looking for data on opiate receptors and other nerd-like things)...and I ended up going off on all these tangents. Curiosity tangents mainly. It started when i was looking at the word stereotypy (meaning frequent, almost mechnical repitition of the same movement, with no obvious purpose). Then i started thinking about word origins. Before I knew it I was looking up every Neuropsych word I could think of...it was pretty interesting. So that was my day. Getting the tar beat out of me three times, and then reveling in the beauty of discovery. A yin-yang sort of day. Bad days can definately be salvaged.
