Im waiting for I, RObot to download, so...I guess I'll update now. Blah, I just havent felt like talking about myself lately, so you guys wont get anything meaningful, or even too interesting, just me bitching about my asinine day yesterday, and a statment of my idiocy from today.
Why yesterday was the lamest day ever:
-I wake up 30 minutes late because I forget to set my alarm
-I go to take a shower, and theres no hot water
-I have to be even later to work by going to Dunks to break my twenty since I havent bought my T Pass yet
-I get to work, and start my environmental monitoring...and end up sampling one entire room as a different room (theres a longer story behind this...but Im lazy), so fixing the labling on all those samples took like 40 minutes, and I ended up finishing that sampling "route" at 1:30 instead of noon like I usually do.
-I rush off to lunch after because our caf closes at 2, I have to scarf down my food to eat it before the caf closes, and end up regretting it the rest of the afternoon.
-After leaving work I sto at the market downstairs (of my dorm) to get some chicken for dinner. I pick up some chicken breasts to marinate, some pasta salad for now, and a soda. I set this on the counter when I get upstairs and go check my mail. I then get a text message from Lauren telling me to come have coffee, so I get a move on and start marinating my chicken. Too bad the chicken reeks of rotten eggs :( So I go downstairs and exchange it...new chicken is good...awesome. I drop the chicken in plastic baggies, and pour on some dresing. I turn around and open my pasta salad...turn back around...and there's salad dressing all over the counter. The plastic baggies had holes in them :( So I put the chicken into a bowl to marinate and toss it in the fridge. Since Ive already taken tons of time, I start shoveling the pasta in my gullet...(we remember from earlier this is a bad thing to do...for a different reason though this time.) My fucking pasta salad TASTES like rotten eggs. What. The. Fuck.
Luckily nothig else stupid happened all night. Though, I was expecting to spill my coffe on myself or somethign stupid the whole time at ERC. Which, by the way, was perfect for that day. I needed a nice relaxing few hours after that fucking lame-ass day. So yeah, we just caught up on stuff since we've both been really busy for the past...god knows how long. It was nice.
Alrighty, so today. You want to all know how retarded I am??
In the area of work where we culture the tetanus, theres a passthrough ( for those who dont know, a passthrough is kind of like...an airlock for little things, so you can transport items from one sterile room to another easily.) which leads from outside the labs into an incubator. I have to pass my sampling supplies through this passthrough so that nothing hijacks its way into the tetanus labs on my equipment. So it also happens that this passthrough and incubator are my first sampling spot in the area. So I go in to other door to the labs, gown up, and go to grab my equipment which Ive left in the passthrough (from the other side). I walk in the incubator, grab my equipment, turn around...and...forget how to get out of this incubator.
...
...
...now, if youve ever been in a walk-in incubator, youre probably calling me an asshole right now, which is understandable. Ahh, but this incubator is under positive pressure from the previous room, so pulling the handle does not pop the door open, you still have to push the door with reasonable force. I had forgotten this. Also, the handle on the inside of the door (which is the pushing side), wasnt helping me remember. So for about 4 or 5 minutes Im standing in this incubator (remember Im in sterility gowning at the time..full body tyvek suit, gloves, hair net, booties, etc. Oh, and dont forget Im in a fucking incubator) fucking roasting my ass off as I bang on the door, and pull on the door and pull on both handles, and do everything but what Im supposed to do. Im freaking out because Im so hot and theres nobody in the tetanus labs. Finally I remembered how to open the door and got out. I still almost passed out though because I hadnt eaten anything yet today, so I had to sit down for a good 5-10 minutes to avoid passing out. It really sucked.
Alrighty then. I Robot has 5 minutes to go...but I dont really have any desire to babble anymore. Later all.
