		<description><![CDATA[So, hearty congratulations to fellow LSTOTT blogger hwiegand, on the topic of her latest post (oh, go on, scroll down and have a look). I suppose that&#8217;s an excuse for not blogging for a while. Like I should be talking.
As usual, things are very, very busy around here. Why, today alone I had to have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, a local sales rep for a certain Qompany that sells mainly kits, but also robots, came by my office recently with a promotional flyer. An invitation, if you will, to a V.I.P. event &#8211; a showcase of their new robotic, liquid-handling, sample-preparing, all-singing, all-dancing box. A box with a lovely name, evocative of orchestras.
Now, I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

That said, when I was ordering my oligos today I noticed the money in our account was getting low.  I submitted [...]]]></description>

There have been some pretty bad costumes in previous years.  The rep that went as a pipet tip always comes to mind.  I guarantee Hbogerd hasn&#8217;t forgotten that one!
I think we might have to have a contest for best [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve been able to divert to the coffee room to avoid meeting a rep because I&#8217;ve smelt the aftershave lingering in the corridor.
