Trimming day. We set up shop outside the lab, in the open air to avoid as much of the formalin fumes as possible, and I did trimming 101 for Dallas and Noeli, who is either the lab manager or volunteering in the lab. I’m not quite sure which. When I was here in December he was still in school but I think he’s moving up the ladder. Jan and Mike spent time with us as well, looking on and scribing for us, but we basically spent the whole day on trimming 4 cases with a break out for lunch. We finished the fourth case just as the light was departing around dinner time! Normally this wouldn’t have been such a full day event, but neither Noeli or Dallas had ever worked with fixed tissues before. Andrea joined us later in the afternoon - today was her day to go up and see the gorillas - she had a good visit and was quite thrilled, although I’m not sure the volume of wine consumed last night was an advantage in the 5AM wakeup or the 2 hour hike!
We all passed a quiet evening with leftovers from yesterday and episodes of House - there are a pile of DVD movies and TV collections - apparently House is the current series. I think they are really old ones, but it really doesn’t matter!
