So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Battle scars; serendipity. Monday, June 25, 2007 @ 10:29 pm There's this intern who works in the lab two doors down from my own who's always impeccably dressed--we're talking suits, here. I know, right? Suits... in a lab?! The kid's crazy. And one of these days, he's going to walk out of there, whining about how his Sunday best was ruined by that little accident with the hydrochloric acid, believe you me. But I suppose that's what he deserves being the pretentious fuck who wears a suit to lab. Every once in a while, I notice little splotches on my shirts or pants that definitely weren't there in the morning when I put those clothes on. The dyes in the fabric act as pH indicators--to a trained scientist: an early warning alarm system that tells you to change clothing before whatever changed the color comes into contact with your skin; to virtually everyone else: an annoyance, a source of anger. Today, I almost lost my cool when I discovered little pink blotches all over one side of my very blue shirt. I cursed myself for letting it happen again, for being so stupid for wearing a new t-shirt into lab, for not wearing my lab coat when I should have been. But as I walked to the bathroom, I thought to myself--these are my battle scars. My lessons to learn from. My constant reminders that I have to be more careful, that I have to think things through. After walking around for an entire day with pink spots all over my shirt (one of which was pretty much on top of my right nipple), I decided, on a whim, to see what would happen if I wet the spots with water. To my surprise, the dye's original color returned. Serendipity strikes at the most surprising times. Sometimes, things just get screwed up. Other times, problems unscrew themselves. There isn't much to do about it, but I guess we should take things in stride. One crisis at a time. But for fuck's sake, don't invite disaster by wearing a suit to lab. EVER. 2 Comments. Haha! Who in their right mind would wear a suit to a lab?? Haha!! Cross the bridge when you come to it right? » Nuttz on 2007-06-26 03:15:50 Maybe he has a million suits and just needs to get rid of a few. :P » randomjunk on 2007-06-26 09:41:24
