FARK II.
Let me just reiterate for the 2 millionth time how much I hate being in this lab. Don't get me wrong, I love the members (well some of them), but I just hate the situation we're in. Got an email regarding the cold room being cleaned out and our lab was specifically "urged" to clean out items that belong to our former members (who've left 2 years ago).
Since there's essentially only 4 of us now, two of whom have left for conference... and I was also "asked" to deal with the items considering "I'm the only one who knows these people" (not true).... I was elbow-deep in bacteria plates have that were 2 years old. Frankly, it's embarassing. We have cultures from 2007!! Back when we HAD honour students!!!!
I can't believe the lab practice of some people. Why would you teach your students to keep bacterial cultures for more than.. say.. 1 DAY?
UGH. Sorry. Major geeky rant.
