So I was weighing out some dry powder for my current bench trials yesterday and apparently my hand eye coordination is currently operating at zero percent. I managed to sneeze right as I was transferring a sample and now half my workspace looks like a crime scene from a pharmacy upset. My subject notebook just has the word oops written in big messy letters where the precise measurement data was supposed to go. At this point my micro scoop is basically a tiny shovel of chaos. Science is supposed to be this clean elegant thing where you wear pristine goggles and look contemplative near a beaker. Instead I am hunched over a tiny plastic tray muttering curses at a pile of white powder while my cat judges me from the doorway. If anyone needs me I will be spending the next three hours recalibrating a scale that probably wants revenge.
