Ugh! v. 2.0

My fluorescence finally worked! Unfortunatly, since it was up and running, Suma thought I needed to do like 50 of them a day to make up for it. Okay, mabye I could do 2, perhaps 3 a day to get a decent amount of data this week...but this all assumes the problem is absolutely resolved and I can easily run through each experiment. Yeah, I didn't see that happening.

And, oh don't ya know, problems return. No matter what, I can either not get it started at all or my readings are so inconsistent, they're pointless. An experiment doesn't mean anything if you can't reproduce those results. I definitely cannot do that. Ugh.

My biggest problem, however, is not that the experiment itself will not work. Oh no, it is that Suma seems to think it is entirely my fault and that I am either completely retarded and screwing it up that way or am sabotaging it for some reason. Oh yeah, I really enjoy spending 8 or 9 hours everyday working for absolutely no gain. I'm just loving it. Come on!!! But really, she thinks I can't do anything. I make new samples when we're out and she's like oh no, I'll make some, you use them. Because I can't twist a knob to set numbers on a pipette? No, I didn't think so. Apparently, I'm incapable of doing even that. And, well, a whole bunch of other "omg, Kailey, you are retarded and I need to watch you like you're five" moments, but really, listing them all out will just bore you and piss me off even more.

How many days 'til camp? I need a break!
