I'm finished! The Crummy Tedious Boring Dirty Samples are done! Go ahead, check the counter.
I left the lab yesterday with just four samples remaining, so I was pretty confident I would finish them today. I didn't have to carpool, so I stopped on my to work this morning and bought two large bags of mini Twix candy bars. I got some semi-unexpected help with the samples today, making it possible for me to finish by 5:00 pm! I went around offering everyone a Twix since most of them had helped me with the samples over the past three years or at the very least, they had listened to me complain about them. I left the rest of the candy in our shared food spot with a note saying "[Name] finished her [samples]!! Everyone gets a Twix!"
Blogging about this work really helped motivate me to finish it these last few months. It's a pity I don't have something else now that would lend well to a new blog progress counter. I do plan to do InaDWriMo, however, if Dr. Brazen Hussy organizes it again.

Oh dear. Is that a request? and by the way, OMG has it been a year already???
Congrats on the samples!
Yes, it's a request. pleeeeaaase?
Good work! Worth a twix or two.
yes, another writing month would be fab.
Hmmmmm. I shall take your requests under advisement.
Woo hoooo! I think you should leave the 100% completed bar up for a while in celebration.
Woohoo 100% and Twix!
Yay! Congratulations!
And the writing month would be excellent. I've got plenty of reading/writing stuff to do.
Congrats on the samples!!
I concur that a writing month is needed. I'll be working part time so I'll need help keeping up with the two manuscripts and the possible post doc application I need to finish in November. Then maybe I'll take some time to work on submitting my other chapters. In fact I need to start my writing month now!
Congratulations!!! Achievement AND chocolate!
A writing month would be really good, pretty please...
YAY! Congrats. Eat as many Twix as you want.
woohoo! yeah to you.
Good job! Isn't it a great feeling?
Dr.Brazen Hussy: I am joining the InaDWriMo requests. Pretty please?
w00t!
Can a website count towards the writing challenge? It is for work...
Congrats!
How nice of you to share your reward!
Thanks All! I will definitely leave the counter up for a while.
Brazen Hussy, I think there might be a restless mob here, demanding another InaDWriMo. Maybe your job apps could count?
The restless mob is starting to scare me. I'll see what I can do to quell them. :)
Yay!! Congrads!
