Goodbye Lab

After half a decade of working at an academic institution, it was time for a change of pace.  While I will miss my colleagues and the great work we accomplished together, I will also miss having an office.

I will especially miss what Ashley and Adam put on my whiteboard during their last visit to my office, many many months ago. 

Ashley picked up the marker and wrote the sentence.  Then Adam took the marker and sketched one of his trademark cars, using the exhaust to craft a speech balloon.

I never erased it. 

Not even before I handed over my keys and walked out the door.

It was their love letter to me and it gave me the strength to smile on many days.

I love you too, my cuties!
