Can't rush/press for production in the microlab, either- you can't rush the perfection that is bacterial colony's growth rate.

I mean, I love the weird shit I see on the processing line, but my passion is in cultures, slides and stains, mixing agar and prepping plates.

I applied in-house to be transferred from specimen processing to the microbio lab.

Cross your fingers that I get approved, I could deal with less stress from not being pressed for production, and could definitely benefit from a raise and getting to play with petri dishes and microscopes all night.

America: where you can have three employees in one break room and each of them can be dealing with everything from chronic allergies, a cracked rib, and fucking pneumonia, but they can't call out because it isn't paid, and isn't worth it.

Also, if I see one more requisition day the source of a urine sample is vaginal, I will scream.

..... This client sent a urine culture in a sodium potassium tube. Do none of the staff in TX get proper phlebotomy or lab training??

When I was training as a medical assistant, I got basic phlebotomy courses. At least enough to know urine doesn't go in a glucose tube!

It's hard to aliquot plasma when you're sweating under your PPE.

Just woke up, reallllllyyy don't want to go to work, because I know the lab is gonna be hot as fuck again.

I wish I hadn't taken so long to start watching Twin Peaks. This show is something else. (Problematic content aside)

Tired of people thinking LesbianRey is amazing, because she's a piece of shit, actually.

Down to one ship in the Chimaera event and Thrawn blew my team up- just in time for the event to end. Thanks, Thrawn. I knew you wouldn't give me your ship easily.

It's Sunday, it's 24C,and I'm lounging on my bed enjoying a cool breeze.

And my bird just farted.

I'm exhausted and I want to sleep but I keep closing my eyes and seeing the end of the SUV coming at me and the semi barrelling up behind me.

I have to admit, I wasn't sold on Lars Mikkelsen's take on Thrawn's voice at first, but now I'm solidly in love with it.
