while emptying hazardous waste into the recepticle, i couldnt help but notice that brown colored vapors were coming out of the tank. i also noticed that i was breathing them and that my throat hurt. recalling similar days when my throat hurt i wonder how many times ive breathed the sweet sweet goodness of some random gas i generated by mixing random (sort of) chemicals in a waste bin.

i had my first bout with jury duty this week. im at work now however, which isnt quite as easy. i will write about this past week at a later time since it is clear i have been negligent since the 26th. to be fair (to me), performing civil duties can be quite time consuming and tiresome. bitch.

my 10 oclock meeting today was exceptionally enlightening. as discussions of high current density polarizers, carriers and brighteners were excitedly analyzed by my team, my own mind wandered aimlessly. the whole point of coop (at least i thought) was to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge (school and work). however, while staring blankly at the lists and terms on the dry erase board i decided that that gap is a large one indeed. i, in fact, had only enough of an idea to realize i would not able to grasp these concepts without additional explanation. in conclusion, coop makes me feel like a retard.
