The 8th Poltergeist

I like my real-life job.

Every now and so often things happen that shouldn’t happen. Sometimes its bad. Sometimes its good. Sometimes its really good. Other times… well, things just happen and a yelp of fear is suddenly taken by an immense curiosity for nature…

Avast Alien !!

Meet… oh wait.. haven’t named him… her… it…

Meet Alien! He just popped out, probably literally, after a very windy and spinny ride from God knows where in to our microscope field of view along with the rest of the expected inhabitants of that particular culture plate.

Eheh… it was fun. Not easy to use your cellphone to take pictures through a microscope btw (we should buy a camera thinking about that…hmmm….).

Oh well, I got to know it was a cousin of some arachnid… more precisely a species of mite. Now, they don’t like those room temperatures, and this one must had been having an hard time there too! Plus it was quite tiny, no bigger 0.05 mm wide… so… well… it was interesting.

Have I mentioned that I like my job?

Quite an exciting day today too. No actual new results… but fun and laid back eheheh
