There will always be days when I miss doing the hard science and not just the usual mechanical maintenance and troubleshooting alongside trying to figure out what's abnormal about the patients to which we run tests on. Being a scientist by name is miles different from being a scientist in heart and career. One day I will return to that life and don the lab coat I was born, raised and refined to wear.

For now, there is always the constant practice for the perfect laughter.
