Today I feel like Alexander, you know, one with the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day?
It started yesterday with my family being annoying (quite a feat from several thousand miles away). Then this morning some idiot comment got me all pissed off - and every time I think about it I get more angry. I'm also excessively & unnecessarily tired today. I don't know why I'm so tired, but it's made me annoyingly clumsy.
I broke a vial of stinky organics, the contents didn't matter - other than the smell, but I don't have another one of those vials and so now I have to wait to have another one made (that's right, it's a custom made piece of glassware), A+ me. Fine, I found something else to rig up for the day.
Then I'm about to start the last tedious but crucial for tomorrows experiments task for the night - I have an hour before something else is done so I'm hoping to be out the door in an hour (I'm already the last one here at this point, which is annoying in and of itself but that's for another post). I'm feeling better about my day. I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel, then CRASH...down goes another piece of glassware. That's right, you guessed it, another crucial one that I don't have a replacement for. I went and ordered 2 more (I really only need 1), but they won't be here for a week. Damn!
So yeah, my other thing is almost done, and I'm going to hope that I manage to clean up without breaking anything else and drive home very carefully. I think I'm eating pop-tarts for dinner, I don't trust myself in the kitchen today. Crappy crappy day.

I am familiar with those days. A couple of months ago, after quite a few of those days (there was a glassware count it got so bad) my friend essentially kicked me out of the lab for a few days. And it helped. I promise. Is there any way you could take it easy for the next couple of days (go in a little later and leave a little earlier) to give yourself a chance to get back on track?
Hope the pop tarts were good. with a day like that I would probably be indulging in ice cream and something trashy but brainless on the tv. Have a better day tomorrow!
I'm taking the holiday weekend off, and making it a long weekend. The boss seems okay with that plan now, we'll see in a few weeks if he's still ok with it. I haven't broken anything today, an I even managed not to spill my highly toxic solution all over everything, so I'm going to count that as success.
The pop tarts were good - I did nothing last night, at pop tarts & veggie chips and watched Big Love - which I believe qualifies as trashy & brainless :)
I hope you enjoy the weekend. Sounds like you could do with a break. Enjoy!
