Someone needs to make you a high-quality version of those multi-coloured click down pens.
Those are actually Sharpies (well, and one Sarstedt pen), so I wouldn't really call them "pens." The colored ones are only used for labeling clear or white tubes of various sorts that won't need to be subjected to freezing or other long-term storage. Anything that requires any sort of long-term storage (more than a month), or anything that will be frozen, needs to be marked with the industrial Sharpies, and those only come in black. I have two sizes of industrial: fine point and extra fine point. I wish they made industrial ultra-fine point as well, but alas, no luck. I have yet to find another marker that works as well as a Sharpie.

It's nice to see that Sharpie has some really good lobbyists in the New York Health Department...

I work for the Department of Agriculture and Markets, not DOH. Don't ever get our agencies confused. There's something of a long-standing rivalry between them. I've punched people for lesser transgressions. :P
EDIT: If there's one thing that labwork will teach you, it's how to distinguish between quality writing utensils. There are other companies that make permanent lab markers, and they generally all suck. My one gripe about a Sharpie is its inability to mark through condensation. Other lab markers use different solvents that allow the ink to dry even through moisture, whereas Sharpie ink simply won't take. However, those other markers don't mark as well overall as do Sharpies.
The picture cements the fact that lab coats are awesome.
I really wish I had gotten a picture of me on interview day a couple of months ago. I was wearing a blue button down shirt, black and silver tie, black slacks and shoes, and my white lab coat over all of it. If I unbuttoned the coat, I looked exactly like a doctor.

The best part is that your lab coat has a mandarin collar.
So I had to shave off my beard recently. I'm going to be doing some classroom observation at a nearby high school, and I doubt looking like a wannabee Viking is going to endear me to the faculty of the school. I do, however, have a question; stick with the mustache, go with a goatee (what I was planning on), or try my hand at a full beard?
I was gonna, but by the time I got it, found the skate rental place, got my skates, and put them on, the last song for skating was coming on. Still, it was fun.

I will be adding pens to the list of things to add to my Nutiabrand Geek Bandoleer.

Anyway, new pics are here! Mostly from my expedition to the Robot Chicken Skate Party.
I tried to make my "I am as evil as Vader" face, but I ended up making the "Yaranaika" face by accident...
"Yeah, It's okay. No one has ever actually been hurt by me being this awesome..."
Chillin with da Fett, Waiting for his 'vette.
Seth Green; It was like I was surrounded in his aura of awesome. I believe my face was similar to Scott's demure look in that one picture...
MUST KILL CYBORG CHICKEN! MUST SALVAGE ROBOT PARTS!!!!!
Also, I cleaned my room yesterday! Look how shiny it is!
