I have no ties and am going to buy some tomorrow. I'm going to be working as a cashier at Fry's.

Cashiers at Fry's do. It's part of their dress code. and they said look professional, I don't think my first day I should go there with a smiley tie.

Wait, that was your degree? You should get a job teaching self-assembled monolayers on noble metal surfaces. That's a good application.

Its straight chemistry. We look at-- basically-- highly purified crystalized chicken fat which forms beautiful ordered structures when you pour a boozed-up solution of it on a perfect gold crystal. There was a lot of excitement on the subject. Turns out, gonna be worthless. I've played a role in that realization. The semiconductor industry sidestepped our whole field, and now i'm left trying to figure out what to do for a post doc.

cheers!

After all, purple is the new green.

Edit: Or was it green is the new purple?
