    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:

          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.
