Man, it's like they don't WANT us to be productive. First of all, there won't be any NMR online until Wednesday. And we can't even go near it, we have to drop our samples off because the new facility is still a construction zone.
That's not the big one for today too. No, today was another unexpected fumehood shutdown. Not our lab, but the STINKIEST labs in the building. My office is on the same floor. You basically couldn't breathe in the halls by midmorning because the smell was so bad. Needless to say, I camped out upstairs in the corner of the group office. After telling people to send a search party with gas masks if I wasn't back from getting my computer in five minutes. :p The smell wasn't too bad in the lab since our fumehoods were still working. The hallway was bad until the construction workers opened the door to the roof. And the less said about the staircase that actually goes to the basement the better. :p
A lot of people didn't have my "camp out in the group office" option and wound up taking a stench day. I left early when I realized I really needed papers from my office to do anything else and I didn't want them badly enough to go down there. :p
In exciting news, I successfully cleaned my oven so maybe the smoke detector will calm down. Baking soda is AMAZING stuff, it just lifted the gunk right off.
