Sorry to all of those who have been wondering if Bill road his bike to work Friday/Monday/Tuesday. Bill wasn't in the office those days, so its hard to motivate to post. However, Bill road his bike up to LBL this morning... what a stud! He is getting so close to his estimate of 70%... who will win - Bill or rainy season?

Bill fired Suzanne?!?

2006-09-05T16:56:00.000-07:00

Its hard to believe that Bill would ever consider letting go such an exemplary employee. We will all miss Suzanne very much.

2006-09-05T15:35:00.000-07:00

Party at Bill's this month!!!

Congratulations again to Jamie! Pop open the Cristal and Dom!

Saturday Night Fever

2006-06-12T07:29:00.000-07:00

With Robyn out of town, Bill spent Saturday night at Yoshi's in Oakland listening to the Gary Burton Quartet Revisited. Wonder if it was nearly as good as The Boss, or if he was just missing his main squeeze the whole time.

... and the winds were kicking this weekend - anyone see Bill windsurfing out on the bay?

Bill to SF today

2006-06-09T08:57:00.000-07:00

Sadly, Bill is in San Francisco today. Everyone's heads will hang a little low in the lab today.

Bill is scheduled to be at the LBL tomorrow to do PET scans. You can see him cycling up the hill sometime before 9 am.

Watch out for car doors Bill!

Whoa - The Boss and THE BOSS

2006-06-06T15:53:00.000-07:00

2006-06-06T15:49:00.000-07:00

2006-06-06T13:25:00.000-07:00

party time (soon)!

2006-06-05T16:11:00.000-07:00

rumor has it that bill is going to throw an awesome party for jamie if her grant is funded. apparently, he will let her call all the shots for this one: location, menu, wine list, martini bar, live music. look for details in the next few weeks. what a generous guy. bill rocks!

Monday Morning

2006-06-05T10:02:00.000-07:00

Bill is on campus this morning and he seems to be acting rather chipper. I guess he had a great weekend saving the world and hanging with Angelina.

Take back Sacramento

2006-06-05T09:57:00.000-07:00

We need to take back Sacramento! No matter what your party affiliation, write Bill Jagust in as your choice for governor for the primaries! Screw Westly and Angelides! Bill will bring education back to the level it should be, give the teachers the support they need, put intelligent design back in the textbooks, build social programs, do away with crime, tax the rich, and balance the books. Spread the word!

Help to Indonesia

2006-06-05T07:27:00.000-07:00

Bill dashed out on Friday to fly to Indonesia to help the thousands who were injured in the recent earthquake. After spending a long weekend selflessly performing miracles on the island of Java, Bill is expected back in lab first thing Monday morning after a long red-eye flight. What a guy!

Mysterious Call

2006-06-03T10:17:00.000-07:00

Bill recieved a phone call during lab meeting. He quickly got up and shut his door behind him. Angelina calling?

Bill arrives

2006-06-02T14:12:00.000-07:00

2pm Friday, June 2nd Bill finally arrives on campus. He has been MIA for a week. My guess either LBL or the beach. He does look a little tan.

belt clip for cell phone - I say YES!

2006-06-02T10:11:00.000-07:00

I'll be honest, I wasn't much of a believer in the belt clip for the cell phone. We've all heard it, they are kind of dorky - right? WRONG - now that Bill Jagust is rocking his cell phone belt clip - I'm totally converted. I'm surprised he hasn't been hired away as a cell phone belt clip model! Just waiting to see what fashion trend he will introduce next!

close call

2006-06-02T09:09:00.000-07:00

bill was seen riding his bike when the driver of a parked car swung his door open almost taking bill down. phew! we almost lost bill!

New Balance

2006-06-02T09:08:00.000-07:00

Bill got new shoes!

Bill spotted at Spago

2006-06-01T17:22:00.000-07:00

Bill was spotted at Spago having lunch with Angelina Jolie Thursday afternoon. Jolie was seen leaving the restaurant in her light blue Prius. It is reported Jagust left in a bright yellow Humvee and he ordered the chicken. No sign of baby, Brad, or Robyn.

Tomorrow

2006-06-01T16:37:00.000-07:00

I hear Bill will be here tomorrow by 2:30 at the latest.
Watch out!

Thursday - June1

2006-06-01T16:21:00.000-07:00

No Bill at UCB today - the lab is sad.
