#lab bitch

[gingerscientist-blog1]

Do you remember when you were in high school and each teacher seemed to think their assignment was the only one you have? Like: 

Every Teacher: Do this time consuming homework

Class: *collective groan*

Every Teacher: Well you have all weekend to do it. 

You: Great, time consuming homework in 5 different classes and I only have a weekend to do it... *is totally screwed* 

Silly me, I thought that would end after high school. Apparently each researcher things theirs is the only experiment happening ever.

You know what I'm sick of?

Plasmid extractions (Best way to kill 40 minutes of your life)

Gel electrophoresis (I might vomit if I have to pour any more damn gets and waste 10 minutes of my life loading that shit)

Glycerol stocks (pipetting thumb ftw!!) 

Bacteria with plasmids inside of them (ok, sort of goes along with the first point but whatever)

Seriously, I used to think that DNA extraction and running stuff on gels was the shit man. Now I could do it in my sleep This is the life of the lab bitch.
