To the poor bastard who found my blog this week by Googling "grad school sucks the life out of you." You're right. You're 100% @!#*%(^ right.
It's Sunday. I've been at work for 10 hours already. About an hour and a half ago I went to start the second half of my experiment, but all of a sudden my protein looked like crap. No sign of my protein anymore. I prepped another aliquot of that protein, only to discover that one looks the same. I tried a different protein, and it looks fine, so it's not the instrument. WTF. If I can't do this second half of the experiment TODAY, EVERYTHING I've done so far today will be a waste. The entire experiment has to be done in a day. I am so f@#&ing ready for grad school to be over. I'm pretty sure there will be tears before the night's over.
I used to be a grad student. And now I'm not (thank goodness). I spent a year as a post doc in industry in Baltimore before starting a "real" job with the same company. These are my tales of science, food, travel, and life.
