Working during Ramadan is tiring. First week with all the students back.
One of the centrifuges let the magic smoke out so I get to lug that over to the equipment shop.
Edit: My workplace quite literally just implemented a hiring freeze. I'm glad I just got in, and I hope they don't fire me because I'm still probationary and it took MONTHS to get this job. (Started working here in November 2024)
Edit 2: I work in a university.
Edit 3:
The daily after party makes up for it though
True, but I'm also trying to lose weight. First week is always extra and I did go a bit hard.
You and me both brother
Instructors and UTA be like:
I remember the first time I worked with human blood. In hematology class, we learned how to clean up blood. As we were loading up our capilairi tubes into the centrifuge, I noticed a drop of blood had been spilled.
Impressive, I thought. Good thing there's enough time to clean that up, I thought. I go and grab the sds, alcohol and paper tower from the table closeby. I turn around to see people leaving.
Already spinning.
I learned that day, to never trust anything. Not the equipment, not myself, and especially not other students....
Ooof. How bad was the clean up after that?
Edit 2: working with human blood always sketched me out despite having proper training.
Edit: I briefly worked in a CLIA lab.
Don't know. It was a droplet. My guess is that the centrifugal forces spread it out so much, that it was no longer visible. I could not find where. So I simply told the instructor and left it at that.
