Reasons why I hate today

• I stabbed my finger with a broken coverslip. FD extracted it but it hurts to do anything. I can't wear a band aid because I can't get the glove over it. It is still bleeding because I'm using it. And throbbing.
• It is now pouring outside. A downpour. Mo jinxed me, she said it was no longer supposed to rain today. Now I have to walk down the street to pick up my blood to process. I told her I should make her do it.
• I put the wrong antibody on my slides. Last night I blocked my slides with a Fab fragment before adding the second primary antibody which is the same species as the first primary antibody. I put on the first secondary again. So I just washed it and added the second primary without blocking again. It better work.
• I don't have time to analyze my data before my lab meeting tomorrow. Because I messed up the slide procedure it took twice as long as it should have.
• It's freezing in here. We now have to wear lab coats all the time but I'm wearing a sweater instead, the coat is too thin.
• I'm starving. I don't know if it's because of the long hours I've been working but I've been ravenous these past couple days.
• The air conditioner is confirmed broken at home. And since we have to close the windows because of the rain it is going to be very uncomfortable. Once I finally make it home.
• I have a sore spot on my head from where it collided with the incubator door yesterday, rather hard I might add.
• I'm tired.

Update:

• This is the punishment I get for multi-tasking. I had three flow assays for today. One completely stained on Tuesday. One fixed yesterday and stained today. One fixed and stained today. While I was transferring the cells from the 96-well plates to the FACS tubes I put one of my positives controls in the tube of another experiment's controls. I don't know if I'll be able to salvage them. At least I didn't screw up the really big experiment from today. Yet.
• At this rate maybe I'll be home by 1am only to be back here at 7:30am to finish processing blood before the necropsy samples arrive. Maybe I can talk my boss into moving our 3pm meeting to Monday so I can go home and sleep.
• I'm still tired.
