Least welcome revelation: Someone I used to work with is trying to stab me in the back. And I shared unpublished data with him, the jerk.
Minor consolation: I told everyone at the meeting so.
Second-least welcome revelation: That my ex (with whom I still work), as recently as two years ago, still professed deep feelings for me. Yo, I'm married.
Best part: Staying with B and M! Whose cats have become normal, sit-and-purr-while-petted cats.
Second-best part: Going out to this fine establishment with a former postdoc to have a pint and a nice gossip.
Most amusing encounter: Meeting the former advisor of one of my readers, and discovering that he looks like a dwarf. A ruddy, irritable, rude dwarf.
Ratio of (Number of people who came to my poster)/(Number I thought would come): ~20
Number of sessions I skipped to go shopping: 4
