Meh. I was going to post happy stuff -- a funny story about my impromptu field trip to Minneapolis, a picture of my uber-kitsch miniature christmas tree, maybe even Gus' latest adventures (since I know that's all you folks really want to hear about) -- but then I got handed a sheet of paper.
That sheet of paper was a printout of a poster presenting data that prove an idea I've been pursuing on and off for about a year now. A very good idea -- as these other people have just demonstrated.
The cosmic irony is that they came up with the idea after hearing my current boss present some previous work... Just like me. But they worked faster, were more focused, and beat me to the punch.
*sigh* It's not the end of the world since it was only a side project for me, and I do get the intellectual satisfaction of having my idea validated without having to do all the wet work... but it's a disappointment nonetheless.
So, sorry, no happy stuff just now. I'm off to watch some delightfully silly anime (fancy name for Japanese cartoons) to cheer myself up... Yami ni hitotoki nomarete mo yagate mizukara hikari dasu!
