oh, i have to work on monday

in fact, i have to work way too much in the next two weeks. the RSV study is still going on, so i'll get samples from that on a regular basis if not everyday (depends on how many people they find with RSV infections) PLUS starting monday we are supposed to be working like crazy to get some other data to act as the foundation of a contract - the write up is due march 6th. luckily, its a group effort so i won't have to do every step so i won't be here forever every day, i'll just be damn busy the 8 or 9 (or 10) hours i'm here.

i'm doing a long day experiment today - which is totally pointless because its to decide which of two types of experiments we are going to use. one doesn't work and mine looks promising. the decision is supposed to be made today - there won't be results from this experiment until tonight when i finish it and i'm not spending my weekend analyzing - so they won't be ready until monday. plus, i was hoping to get started at 8 (which is when i got here) but since eun decided all of this yesterday, i didn't have time to talk to the nurse that draws our blood so she didn't have a donor lined up for 8am. so, i got the blood 15 minutes ago. it'll be ready to count cells in 30 minutes, ten minutes to set up the stimulation 6 hour stimulation . . . 2 and a half hours to stain - we are up to 7:30 now, assuming everything goes well and no one dumps anything new on me. then, it'll take me 3 or 4 hours to run the samples on the machine - yup, i'm looking at leaving work around 11.

stupid job.
