Today was a good day

I'm exhausted, and the only one in lab right now, but I get to go home soon. That said, despite all the crap going on around here and the toxic atmosphere, today was a good day. I'm too tired to write in coherent paragraphs, so here are the highlights:

• The instrument that was broken, then finally fixed is broken again. That sucks, but the facility manager let me put together the proof for the technicians, so I know that the problem that they'll address is the one that I need fixed. This facility manager actually believes me when I say the instrument doesn't work - it took me a year to convince his predecessor.
• Another experiment died, but it was one I'd only worked on for 2 weeks and wasn't really into anyway.
• Pig is gone until Tuesday! Yay!
• Pig's GF has been giving me the silent treatment all week (she does this sometimes, but usually gets over it quickly). The good part about that is that she has no reason to come in to lab without him here (she's defended and done already) so that's nice, but also I really don't care. Usually I do. This time I really don't, I think I'm finally through with them. I don't have to be nice to the Pig if his GF isn't my friend anymore.
• I had a really good talk with the boss today about Pig and the group history and future. He apologized for not intervening with Pig sooner.
• I got a new project, and it's cool and interesting. I'm glad I went and talked to the pet because it involves some of her old data, and she's already offered to help.
• The best part about the new project is that it requires chemicals that I have to special order. They won't be here by tomorrow, so the best news is that I can take the weekend off, guilt-free. I need that!

Today was a good day, and even better, tomorrow is Friday!
