    Nespresso hack.

    I'll have to look into these hacks for Europe. Got my wife a Nespresso machine for Christmas, like many it is great if I want a coffee before my train.

    I survived January's run challenge, 241km. I slacked off too much and had to get in a 50km effort on the last day. Now onto February and its 290km total.

    Since I posted about the interview, thought I'd add I didn't get selected. I'm bummed out about it, but the fight in my head continues. On one side, the part that feels I haven't reached my goals, and the other that knows I've done a damn good job and given my boys a metric crap ton of...

    It is normal for faculty-level positions. You give a research seminar, then meet with the search committee, then all the scientists and all the staff. Talking with them got me really excited for the opportunity, now to see how it plays out.

    My interview is done. Since it was hosted in California it lasted form 17:30 'til 00:15 for me. Then I drove home in the icy conditions of a Swiss snowstorm. I think it went well. There may be a better candidate who gets selected, but I don't regret saying anything or thought it was a train...

    What wine did you drink today?

    Had some Gluhwein we made from Steimheimer Wein. Then a Spanish wine. We tend to buy it by the case but it last about a week or less. Depending on how much I want to drink.

    Smokin' Sims: International Man of Mystery

    Santa, the package arrived today and I can only say two things WOW and Thank You. I look forward to having everything that was in that box. I may share some things with the kids, maybe not. I'm glad the liquids made the trip safely, and I really like the packaging material. I have never seen...

    One of the YouTube channels I watch asked for 2020 running stories and mine got selected. It went up on the channel yesterday. My favorite comment in the comment section has been "Blimey, that escalated quickly" https://www.youtube.com/c/runningchannel/community

    Maybe. Depends on many things, but I'd like to get an offer and be the one who makes the decision. Also nice to feel wanted by someone else. Kinda like if some moderately attractive woman were to hit on me, nothing would happen but it would make me feel good.

    Please let me know...

    Maybe I'm late, editors gripe about it all the time. It is good. I like that you get to the hook by the end of the first paragraph. The rest flows well.

    I got selected for a zoom interview at the USDA in the Bay Area (at least to a Texan). Never heard of ABD before. Don't think it happens in Med. Chem.
