Well, after a long car journey during which my legs felt like they were separating from my body I'm finally at my destination - a Premier Inn (a hotel chain, for those not from the UK). Not quite the Ritz but it's got a kettle, a bed, a sink and a lock on the door so I guess you can't go wrong with that.
Also in case anyone's curious I'm not actually going on holiday - I've been assigned to a crystallography research group this academic year and we've gone down to
Diamond for the weekend. I'll basically spend the next two and a half days using the biggest X-ray machine in the country to examine crystals so small you can't even see them without a microscope!
I've heard worse. (Fair warning: you can never unsee it.)
I know it can't be that bad otherwise you wouldn't even be allowed to post it but even so: not looking not looking no no no
In another note, at my job we just had another crew member quit. They were being trained for shift leader, so there is a very good chance that I could be the next candidate for the position. I don't know what to do. On the one hand this may be my chance to get promoted, but on the other hand I'm not sure I'm ready/good enough/likible enough for the job. . .
Hey, a chance at a promotion can't be all bad, right?
