enter a post-doc, picking up her lab coat from materials management.

p-d: this lab coat is the wrong size.
b: no it isn’t.
p-d: no, i’m pretty sure it is, i turned in a lot of coats and maybe the yellow slip got put with the wrong one. but i’ll try it on anyway.
b: well maybe you lost some weight.
p-d: no, that’s not it.

also i wish there were more people in boston to go to concerts with.
