Flu outbreak, it's not my fault...perhaps

RED ALERT! I had a terrible cold for the past 2 weeks as I have stressed in the previous post. But worry not my fellow followers, I have recovered! However, the rest of my colleagues seem to have caught some sort of virus, whether it be cold, cough, severe headaches, fever, food poisoning, infected by HIV (ok, maybe not HIV), whilst I made a miraculous recovery. They have now blamed it on me acting as a reservoir for the virus for the past two week. But, I'd say the real cause to everyone's problem was probably getting a bit too drunk at the christmas meal and have walked a tremendous amount in the rain until 3 in the morning from pub to pub to bar!

Anyhow, the christmas
was held at a greek restaurant and was amazing. I had mixed meat rissoto, followed by grilled salmon in leon sauce and finished with baclava as dessert. All expenses (including drinks) covered by the lab. This was followed by a momentary plate smashing and dancing in the restaurant, apparently this is greek tradition. Some have even suggested that the greek government is bankrupt because they smash too many plates. Then the 30 odd of us twaddled down the street to the pub until god forbid what time in the morning. Unsurprisingly, there were only 5 of us at work the next day.

I mentioned before I would be going to London this weekend on the reply to SuSu's post, but unfortunately, my fellow collaborator from Boston has decided to prevent me from doing that by posting me something that will arrive on Saturday. That's it for now. Until next time.

  2. Hahahaha!!! Right onto the topic there Maddie! Real smooth! The person in question has now stopped the bum slapping after my numerous "friendly" protests and a series of talks of moral.
