after a long period of working elsewhere, i returned to the cfn this morning to do my data processing, only to strengthen my hypothesis that no one ever does any actual work there. there was music, random tracks from a hellishly schizophrenic itunes playlist, going from tupac to pachelbel and phish to a philharmonic, everyone's adrenaline pumping and heart rate going a hundred a minute from the mood changes and people yelling at each other about kal penn as adjunct professor and which fruit salad truck is the best and makeup applier that looks just like a biro. and then suddenly indiana jones and the last crusade was put up on the widescreen tv and it was that scene in the library with harrison ford and the piledriver. the server crawling like a dying man in the desert, and then koch's for lunch (emily's treat) and 3/4 of the day gone with only 2 datasets processed. not good. not good at all.
