stellar_muddleMy current feelings on abundances (Warning: Contains coarse but not very inventive language)
mutter mutter huge tables of data with no explanation and no clear indication of what the fuck the variables are mutter mutter editing the fuckers/tracking down their sources mutter mutter range of solar abundance values, let along LMC and SMC abundances as a starting point mutter mutter Landolt-Bornstein Group VI, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Extension and suppliment 1, subvolume A, 1981 (?) mutter mutter online subscriptions mutter mutter burnt down library mutter mutter consistant data sets mutter mutter outdated data sets mutter mutter morning meetings mutter mutter deadlines and ends of contracts mutter mutter half solar vs quarter solar effects in model atmosphere generation mutter mutter not being supplied with the right input data mutter mutter fucking abundances ... accuracy/agreement in fucking abundances, you must be joking... science... you really are joking, instrument of torture designed to delude people into thinking they are contributing to the sum total of human knowledge when instead they are just wasting electrons and trees...
fucking abundances.
I am so looking forward to escape today, and Fri, and especially Tues.
