Scene: the cellar of a ruined victorian mansion has been converted into a laboratory. Various electrical devices provide most of the light, with sparks and flashes, while overhead naked bulbs struggle to penetrate the cobwebbing. In a cages against one wall, ducks with feathers of various shades of green brood morosely. In a large retort a pale egg simmers quietly.
"Gentlemen!"
A silhouetted figure at the top of the stairs demands the attention of several figures moving about the laboratory in coats that might once have been white.
"Word has reached my ears that suggests the privacy of our vital mission here is no longer secure. We must prepare to leave by dawn."
"But! But, Professor! The experiments are at a crucial juncture! If we have to abandon the laboratory now, we will interrupt the incubation. It could take us months to regain the ground we will lose!"
"Gentlemen, there is no time to waste. I have every confidence in your abilities to complete our project on schedule. To fail would be to risk that for which you paid so dearly."
One of the scientists turned to another, murmuring "I think he means... our three-piece suites! I saw what happened when he loosed that hound of his on poor Throckmorton's sofa." he shuddered.

Is this the Roger Wright biopic? and/or any Camels on the horizon?

Good morning every one. As the night shift is coming to the end the morning shift people come to visit. I am up early today (probably because no student comes early and I could sleep late).
I see that you had productive night gentlemen (and gentlewomen).

Yes, it is, tonybob. I think of my students as my children. The problem is that I can not cling to them and they are free to go any time if there is something better for them out there.
I want to be everything for them, but I know I am not. So I cry a lot and let them go.

Especially to GG, TP and Tonybob who are down for breakfast already.
The blank page of a new day is upon us.

"Hello there buddy on the night shift
I hope you slept all day
Until the moon came out
And woke you up
And sent you on your way.
Hello there buddy on the nightshift
I hope you're feeling fine
I left a lot of work for you to do
On a long assembly line.
I wish I knew you better
But you never go my way
For when one of goes on the job
The other hits the hay."
(Hammerstein/Weill)

good morning Alison, George, tonybob, Bryn, Mary C. The night brigade is going to walk up soon.
I think they missed you last evening, George.
I don't know why so many problems of a computer (freezing and strange messages) are solved by turning it off.
Alison, I love your cat. It makes me relax and smile. I love everybody's avatars. Mary is a beautiful flower and George has speeking eyes. Some people change their and I don't know what I am going to see.

Of course going on the job and hitting the hay are not necessarily incompatible are they George? I just went off looking for the lyrics without any luck. Should have just waited... |

If anyone knows of a Quality Assurance vacancy in a mattress factory, I might be interested...  But I must insist on solitude and absolute silence to do my best work. |

I just met a lady-artist that makes designs for a curtain business and she paints. She is very successful artist. I am planning to see her works when I have time.

Some times joining some group (chorus or something) helps for net working. Is it a good advice or what?
You probably done it already.
From my experience in some places I got transplanted easier than in others and I changed many places.
