Friday Fun: Chemistry Craigslist
Most folks these days have moved around some - whether for school, jobs, or family - thus buying and selling furniture and appliances on the cheap = required skill.
Enter Craigslist, the online "Wanted Ads" for the grad student who just needs to find a $50 couch.
Many of the raucous online discussions our community has had over the past few days (plagiarism, checking preps, #chemjobs) would probably benefit from better communication amongst ourselves, and with the larger world. Well, what if we had a little piece of digital property over on CL? What might that look like?
Help Wanted
Needed: Dissertation Typist. Must have encyclopedic knowledge of p-chem terminology, command of stereochemical language, enjoy ramen noodles for lunch. 130 wpm / minimum.
Please bring own laptop if possible.

Missed Connections. You: Tall, gangly chemist in need of a shave with thick glasses and a slightly stained lab coat. Me: Passed you by on an OSHA inspection, petite brunette, business suit, designer goggles. I thought we shared a glance, but you may have just been nervous when you saw my badge. Perhaps a drink might help? Call 555-8G13
