I'm must be unlucky
Why is that I can't ever get what I want? Yah...I must have bad luck. I worked my butt off in lab yesterday setting up so much stuff. There was no one in the lab except me..and man did I work hard! I got so much done when it comes to setting up media containing mammalian cells (which are used to infect viruses--since my research is on viruses now). Anyways, I go in today..and it was all bullshit. Yah, I somehow had gotten a contamination. All those years of my microbiology training of my past worked up till yesterday. So yah, I musta somehow, somewhere from the air introduced in a contaminant. All the shit I set up was cloudy and filled with bacterial growth--didn't take me long to realize those boogers were in there!!! damn them booogers
I kinda got a kick out of it..though I was very dissapointed. Called my mom and told her how bummed I was and how my research will now be lagged by 3 days...which isn't really that good considering my advisor has been on my case lately. The kick I got out of this mishap was that my masters was in microbiology, specifically bacteriology--studying bacteria. hahah and 2 years ago, I'd be bummed calling mom telling her I didn't get bacterial growth and bummy my experiments were lagged. Now it's the bacteria I DONT want...I'm still working in microbiology, just looking at viruses for my current degree. Only this time, the bacteria boogers take over...and do not allow me to grow the virus :( grrrrrrrrr what wonders of biology...
I'm done complaining..
