The needle
Yes, I know. I'm such a whiner. I have to share this with anyone, I guess. Everyone in the lab has several responsibilities. Preparing a number of common solutions, sterilize glassware, making sure there are enough culture media, etc. Mine is to prepare all the antibiotics and other additives for culture media, such as Kanamycin, Carbenicillin, Nalidixic Acid, Tetracycline, IPTG, X-Gal, X-Glu, etc etc, and to make sure there is plenty of them ready to use.
To prepare carbenicillin is a very simple task. Glass vials with premeasured quantities of cb are injected with 10ml sterile double-distilled deionized water, the resultant mix aliquoted into 1 ml eppendorf tubes, and frozen.
But today instead of injecting the water to the vial, I pricked myself with the needle, down to the bone, I reached it I swear, and since the needle is rather thick, now I have a hole in my left index finger, and it hurts!! T____T Yes I know I'm such a sissy.
I want my mommy! I want Lenin! I just want a hug. TOT
