How many Scientists does it take to...

....notice a plug is out of it's socket?
A quick straw poll reveals that between the four of us in my lab, we have: 1 Medical Degree, 1 Doctorate, 2 Master's Degrees and 3 Bachelors Degrees. Not underqualified by any means, you'd have to agree.
So why on *earth* didn't we realise that the power had gone to the laser because the plug wasn't in the socket until *after* I'd rung the engineer to come and fix it? 
Be afraid, be *very* afraid...

Do me a favour. Give your loved ones one a damn big hug and tell them how much you love them. I'm going to.
RIP SG. We tried our best.

And it was all going so well, as well 
.
I was finally over the grotty chest infection that kept me off work for a week and then I have to go and lose an argument with some frozen yorkshire puddings and a kitchen knife .
Still, I learnt how nice the staff in A&E where I work can be when they don't want you to do something for them, like, yesterday 
Upshot is I have a very impressive cartoon style bandage round my hand, and got given the instruction not to get my hand wet for a week. Ewww.. 
. Going to make showering interesting, to say the least 
.
And I didn't even get a sticker saying I was a brave girl or nuffink . They probably wouldn't have given me one anyway, as I started backing out the cubicle when they couldn't promise me I wouldn't have stitches (I don't just those strip things to keep the inside of my hand where it should be). For a girl that has five tattoos and four piercings, I can be remarkably wussy about needles.
Ah well, hopefully that was the third thing.

Inexplicable phenomena #141 (or Gas stove 1, SLG 0)
Posted Feb 21, 2005
When I moved in here, I had what seemed a thousand lighters. You couldn't move round here for 'em. Now I cant find *one* of the little 
ers. 
. WHY???
I can only surmise that they've all left home to join with the biros.
Important lesson learnt as result of this is to take more care when lighting ciggie from gas stove.. They'll grow back eventually, I'm sure .
Still, ER tonight, a nice glass of 
and a 
to play with.
It's not all bad

Ah well. You can't take it with you...
