Sometimes I make stupid mistakes, and this is definitely one of them

So. Yeah. Burninated samples totally disintegrated in the oven.

Whee.

So I will be here late again tonight (later than last night, even!), in order to catch up with roughly where I meant to be.

And then tomorrow--burnination.

Again.

One sample first, and then if that looks good I can try the other two.

*breathes*

God, I hate pyrolysis some days.

This is when I become exceedingly glad I don't do chemistry.

Some days I wish I'd gone in for the English major I initially wanted.

And then some days this job isn't too bad. I just--wish I'd stumble across one of those days sooner rather than later.

I am wincing on your behalf and also giggling at Nynaeve!glare, which is an odd dichotomy.

Fingers crossed for you, hon. *stares balefully at samples and oven and orders them to behave*

Do not make your face explode!

It is messy.

And seriously, thanks. This is getting OLD. Very very very old.

But in the grand scheme of things it is not so bad, except for the driving home at 11:30 part. And the frustration part.

I think I am growing as a person! *snickers*

Please tell me that, in this particular field, burnination is a real live word....

Cause if so it's the bestest word ever. :D

[varadia]

Well, I think I get thrown out of the scientific community if I discuss burninating samples.

But Trogdor the Burninator exists!

So it is kind of technically a word?

Hey! That counts!!!!

Score! ;-)
