The Gnomes have arrived

Hi everybody. Somehow, the gnomes got to San Francisco. For those of you that do not read my blog often enough to know what I am talking about let me explain.

So there are these evil gnomes that come by whatever lab I am working in and they mess up my experiments. They don't touch other peoples experiments just my own. In another words I am cursed. Because of these gnomes sometimes my experiments just DON"T work!

Three days ago I was in the lab until 11:30pm because I wanted to get everything done so that I wouldn't have to stay late the next day since I had to help Sheri with her Qualifying. So anyways I stayed that late working on the LSR (flow cytommetry machine) and I thought everything looked awesome and great and I transfered my results over to the other computer. I was really anxious to look over my data cause it was exciting stuff going on but I decided, "No I must go home get some sleep and eat, not in that order". So the next morning I was so happy cause I was going to analyze my results and see what happend. Except that the two sets of data I acquired had exactly the same percentages. I didn't believe that 2 sets of results under different conditions could be SO the same so I ran back to the LSR thinking I had transfered the wrong data 2x's. So I went back and my Data dissapeared!!!!! I went over to Jason (the LSR master) I told him "Jason, I am either going to kill myself or I am going to shoot the LSR" He said, "Well the LSR is worth $40,000 please don't shoot it I need it next week."
We went to look over it and Jason said, "I am sorry Isa, there is NO hope. Somehow the program just didn't get your stuff."
There was a tear stuck to the corner of my eye lid. Jason could see that I was loosing it. He said,"Go take 3 deep breaths" And I just yelled, "BAD LSR BAD VERY VERY BAD."
I wanted to die! That was all yesterday, I am still depressed over it.
I am mourning my data. The data that was going to save my presentation. Now instead of relaxing for the weekend I have to come into work eventhough the bridge (Bay Bridge) is goin to be closed and I am going to have to take 3 million different trains to get here.
Yeah, so i have to come in on Monday and start the experiment ALL OVER AGAIN!

The gnomes have arrived, and they manipulated the innocent LSR into eating my data.
It is just such a sad story. There are starving children in Africa that know how I feel right now.

Chill kitties.
