The Division my lab is in at the Hutch takes an annual trip up to the Semi-ah-moo Resort near the Canadian border for an overnight "scientific retreat." All expenses paid, no strings attached. Free meals, pressure-less talks, and let's not forget the complimentary drinks. Plus, my roommate is extra-cool this year!!! I even painted my toenails for the event.
This will be my second year attending the retreat as "just a tech." When I came back last year, Blogger had inexplicably killed the weblog I was using at the time. Here's hoping Movable Type is a bit kinder. If not, and if history does indeed repeat itself, then expect yet another weblog to pop up sometime just prior to Thanksgiving. Damn technology.
