Training Log Archive: Becks

Cycling into work.

Argh! Spent all day doing a 384 well plate assay to be read on a plate reader which I checked at lunch time was properly set up. Returned to read the assay four hours later and the filters have been removed and taken away, the mirror changed and the loading system broken. WTF?! After 2 hours of pipetting into 384 well plates in the dark I was well angry and stormed off on the bike, only to remember that there was a machine in George Square that should do the job, so I turned back round again, had to reclimb the hill and lo and behold the machine was still there, hasn't been used since I was last there a year ago (after being told there was no way our building could acquire it as it was going to be in "constant use", and still works, so I got some results. After that I was so knackered from all that anger and upsettedness that I bought an ice cream and went to the pub with Rob instead of doing any training.
