the world's tiniest violin...

I have a sore throat.
I have less than 2 weeks to prepare slides for my lecture on microfluidics again.
I have less than a month before my grant submission changes are due.
I am running on borrowed time as far as my adviser is concerned about the paper I'm writing.
I will be unemployed in 6 months unless I figure something out.
I still haven't written back to some students in Korea about something.

As I was opening the 95th cough drop of the day, this is what I saw.



Thanks, Halls. I will try to refrain from hiding under my desk and feeling sorry for myself.
