All About Me

aseThere is no way I'm going to be employed by my birthday this year. Fail! I'm going to an afternoon bioinformatics seminar instead. Dear informatics geeks, please hook me up with the hot trends in bio, and maybe a job? With affection, me.
Now I have to decide what I'm doing to mark the big 2-7, other than getting over my head in math applicable to next generation sequencing. Special food? Special beach trip? Special spending? I've often thought Tolkein's invention of Hobbits giving gifts on their birthday was more sensible than trying to remember a swarm of special days, but this year I'm glad I'm not expected to be the gifter, since I ditched most of the mathoms in the move.
This morning's networking event was an inspirational speaker with networking opportunity following the talk. Inspirational speaking about reassessing your life and turning negatives into positives feels like a betrayal of my usual cynicism, but in light of this year's decision to quit my job and move to San Francisco (possible tagline: "strategically brilliant, but tactically questionable") I think the "betraying your collegiate cynicism" ship has sailed.
