Protein Angst

Monday unfolded the culmination of four years/six months of work in the form of the oft-touted seventeen hour work day. Except for a lovely two hours of FHE, I was digging in the protein trenches from 9:30 AM to 4:00 AM. Fortunately there is a thing called NOVA Online (Picture below is of the Andromeda Galaxy which is what the episode I watched was on).

It definitely helped pass the column running hours. Today finalized the analysis of that work. Result? Nothing. Nada. Nicht. Et cetera. Oh, the pain and horror of it all. Whatever. The only bright side is that three years ago, I would have spent the next couple days sniffing away the tears. Now, this has happened so many times that I went and got some delish teriyaki and watched a movie on my laptop. I feel much better. In fact, I might go back to lab in a few minutes. See how ill grad school will make you?
