Experiments that should have gone well: many
Experiments that should have gone well but have instead given me puzzling results: uncountable
Experiments that have gone well: ...five? Maybe?
Experiments that have involved me being too tired to be shaking because my boss was watching every move: one
Time spent attempting to hunt boss down to ask him questions/show him results: HAHAHA incredible
Level of paranoia about reagents and blocks and even tubes used: exponentially increased
Number of conversations about lab politics successfully ducked and evaded: one
The motto of the people who do molecular biology in the lab appears to be "Trust no one", and has led to at least one very funny (in retrospect) episode with people who work on RNA. More and more experience seems to be bearing that motto out.
Am going to Point Pleasant Beach today and after to barbeque dinner! Was swimsuit-less until late yesterday, when my friend and I hoofed it to Saks after work so we wouldn't have to go naked on the beach. I fixated on a discounted purple Burberry bikini ten minutes into browsing and spent the rest of the time choosing a coverup and waiting for my friend. Pictures forthcoming.

(There are a bunch of bio people on the flist. We should form a support group or something. :D)
We should get together for dinner or something sometime when you are in NY? We should also set up a group blog or something where we just complain about problems like this :))
