So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | The Day Nothing Went Right. Thursday, April 19, 2007 @ 11:15 pm Got to work 15 minutes late but no one cared because I was the first one there. Finished rotovaping R-7-11-06 (which means nothing to you) but at least it got done. About time. I wasn't aware it would take that long to draw off water from a solution containing ammonia and iron sulfide and nitrates and other crazy shit. From there, my co-worker and I were set to distill the reaction and continue with the damn project but we didn't have any liquid nitrogen to condense the vapor back into a liquid. Went around the entire building (walked around through all 5 floors--basement included--no joke) looking for liquid nitrogen but no luck. Oh, and then we got stuck in a freight elevator and had to call out for help. That was fun. Well, at least I know that I can open the doors manually, but it was still a mildly harrowing experience. So since we couldn't proceed with distillation, we were going to set up another nitrate reaction, but unfortunately we ran out of reagents. Oh-ho-ho. Research: you slay me. Tomorrow, I'm heading in at 8:30 for four full hours of safety training. Oh, joy. The liquid nitrogen and the reagents for the reaction won't be in until next week, so we'll see how I can kill time for the three hours between 1:00 and 4:00 when I actually have to work. So tired. Can't even say I'm looking forward to the weekend. More work awaits. Next week though--through all the school and the work, I'll be looking forward to a very special visitor's arrival. I guess that will keep me going for a while. 3 Comments. Everyone must run on black people time, then. Out of liquid nitrogen?... isn't that one of those "everyone has it" sort of things? » ikimashokie on 2007-04-20 11:50:02 hahaha ikima. My friends used to call it CPT. They'd be like, "the barbeque starts at 4 o'clock, CPT" because if they didn't say that we'd actually arrive at 4 and nobody else would come until like 6. Too bad your coworker wasn't like amazingly hot, because that would have been the perfect time for you two to make out passionately. Hopefully for the safety training they'll show you the awesome chemical reagents video where they have a false lab bench and they keep setting it on fire and blasting holes in it until they finally blow the whole thing to smithereens. It's sooo cool. » Zanzibar on 2007-04-21 09:29:30 omg, ranor, I just wrote, "your welcome" in the shoutbox. Now I can't correct it because nobody is saying anything. OH THE SHAME! » Zanzibar on 2007-04-22 10:18:21
