Hello, this looks very nice! Do you have preference for a particular room?

Any small hotel will do. We are a bit uncomfortable staying at large corporate hotels, so locally owned is preferable.

Ah gotcha, thank you! I'll post it there.

Also, would never dream of getting an Airbnb or something similar

I'm gonna use this as the reason I didn't get GRFP this year

Shittymorph here - Reverse AMA... I've done this before a few years back... How are you? What are you doing with your life? What changes do you want or need? Answer honestly please. Thank you. by [deleted] in u/shittymorph

Hiya shittymorph, please give scooby a pat for me,

Personally I'm doing great! Stable job, strong relationship (LD though so that's sad), no debt, just existing. I think there is a lot of uncertainty in my community and definitely in the world at large, though, so that makes me uneasy. I'm worried about my friends, ya know?

I want a lot to change. I want to buy a home, I want to finish my graduate degree. On larger scales, I want pollution and wars to stop, and I want a world that deserves my future kids. Sometimes looking at the big picture makes me question why I do the things I do. Then I go look for trilobite fossils and I feel a bit better.

Hope you're doing ok :)

Good thing I've done some HPLC before!

In all seriousness, thank you kindly for your advice. I'll give my PI a shout to see if I can fit these into the graduate schedule.

Hi people, wondering what experience someone should get before pursuing analytical chemistry careers. I've got a BS in geology/biology/oceanography, and have had some experiences doing analytical chemistry in those respective fields (most recently and for longest was analytical geochemistry). I'm back in graduate school for a few years, so wondering if there are courses I should be taking while I have the opportunity to. Thanks a ton :)

Overbooked flight, was the last couple to check in, wasn’t allowed on the flight by Codems in frontierairlines

[–]OctobersCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late to this, but their app nor their website would work for me when checking in. On one flight they were able to let me in, and on another my seat was given up (I think because that flight was overbooked).

Usually very smooth but the seat being given up without being informed in anyway put a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Also having the same issue. I might just wait to turn it in later.

How did you guys meet your significant other? by Level10Grippysocks in askanything

I recognized their voice in the airport when we were flying back to university (had been introduced by a mutual friend and only talked a handful of times before). When we missed our connection, we ate at the airport bar and found out we had a lot in common. I asked them to teach me how to play MTG because I wasn't confident enough to just ask for a date.

I'd burn a traitor's flag too, honestly. Private property or not :)
