Good and bad days...
I'm sitting here at the office. It's 9:15pm on a Friday evening, and I have a tremendous headache. The one that pokes into the back of one of your eyes.
When I got into work, I was all set for the day. I'd detect my protein of interest on a nitrocellulose membrane, and then do another assay. Science stuff. But, then, where was my antibody?! Nowhere to be found! I spent half the day looking for it... it was a terrible situation. Eventually, though, it showed up in a place that I would never have placed it. But there it was. In the -80 degrees celcius freezer, ready to roar. Anyhow, the delay is the reason I'm here so late.
Despite the headache, and feeling so down today about potentially losing and having to buy a $570 antibody... the experiment worked!
I consider a bad day when I walk out of this place with no smile, a headache and no results.
A good day is a smile, a headache and a result.

Pop some pills, and here's to smiling on your way out of work!
Now go drink copious amounts of rum and coke! It will help w/the headache too.
