Lucinda went into the shop Friday night. It seems that one of her catalytic converters is busted. The accompanying oxygen sensor may also be compromised, but the mechanic wouldn't be able to test it until the converter was replaced. Anyway, the new part is supposed to come in today, so hopefully I will get Lucinda back tomorrow or Thursday. Since my roommate also works on campus, she has been giving me a ride to and from work. Unfortunately she works 9 to 6, and I tend to work 8 to 8 or later. I am having some difficulties getting enough work done.
Me and my house survived the storm this weekend. We had several tornadoes touch down in Raleigh and high winds were cause general mayhem as well. The power for my lab building was knocked out, and the back-up generator failed to come on. The power was out for over 24 hours, so I spent all of Monday testing all my stocks and enzymes for viability. So that was about 3 days of lost work right there. Stress, I have it.
I hate hate hate not having Lucinda. While my roommate has been great, it isn't really fair of me to ask her to pick me up from work at 11 PM and then drive me in to work at 7 the next morning. I usually work between my two labs during the day, but now I am kind of stuck one place or the other. I can't run out for an errand while a gel is running. I am going crazy. Well, crazier. I've never really had much claim on overall sanity.
