Got in this morning to find that the incubator-shaker that I'd set up last night to grow some protein had been turned off. Which puts my harvesting back several hours.

Started an RNA prep, and went to my special box of Eppendorf tubes, to find that some low-life had taken it and replaced them with a bag of crap Greiner ones. Stores had run out, so I had to break into my secret stash.

There's a fifteen minute break in the protocol, so I thought I'd treat myself to one of the two slices of cake that had been left in the fridge since last week (and were still there last night). You guessed it; some bugger's eaten them.

And it's not even midday, yet.
