But I had a cool idea for a name.
It will probably seem less fantastically awesome at some point, but it fits me right now. I spend my working life seeking steady state and pondering whether such a state actually exists. I think it applies to non-work just as well. Some people are into randomness and chaos, but I find that I would like nothing more than to reach steady state. It's a place of contentment, whether you're a distillation column or a human being.
Yeah, distillation columns can totally be contented. If you saw a grumpy one, you'd believe me.
Oh I've seen my fair share of grumpy distillation columns. Used to work on the grumpy buggers in a different life...

ReplyDeleteI can think of worse reasons for starting a blog than having a cool title.
ReplyDeleteNow, about your profile picture ... those shoes just scare me.
@Leah-- I wiggle my toes in your general direction!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I haven't seen a distill. column in a dozen years. dang. I felt old just typing that.
ReplyDeleteOh I spent my fair share of time pondering the nature of the universe while I babysat various pieces of lab equipment - some of the samples took hours to run through the machines. Still, I sometimes miss working in that lab...
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of the joke about the dead dog, the lab work and the cat scan...
