well, i guess it was good to delay

Soooo...kept putting off a specific experiment and decided to put it off today as well in interest of seeing if I had the antibodies before aquiring the cells. Fortunately this turned out to be very very very fortunate because the antibody that I need in order to reproduce my data from last year per my committee's request is.....well, the tube was in the box but gee, don't you know it, my inconsiderate lab mates LOVE putting tubes into boxes EMPTY. This actually occured to me yesterday when i found one empty tube in a box when I was coating some plates for a different experiment...fortunately it was a cheapish reagent that we generally keep multiple tubes of.

Soooo...now I have to wait and hope our lab manager gets around to ordering in the next day or so...she's not so great on that. Already was pissed today because I found that either someone erased or closed the order form w/out saving on an order I'd put in previously for a development reagent I HAVE TO HAVE to develop the western blots I've been working on for a week.

Siiiiiiigh. Really, I should have just skipped grad school and become a lab manager. It's what I end up doing anyway since our's can't figure out her job after 2 years of doing it. Wait, no take that back, she knows it, she's just been very wily about consistently doing less every single month so that less is always expected of her. She's probably faking not being fluent at english too.

Must remember to go look for cheap breath mints for lab meeting tomorrow *giggles*
