Stupid FNG!

I leave the lab today for 1 hour to listen to a lecture. I come back and new guy had broken a $10,000 high precision slicer.

Our lab is essentially shut down until it is repaired. Great. I guess I'll have time to finish writing the analysis routines.

What do you do.

No julianne potatos for you.

Well if you like your potatoes to have micron precision thickness.....but we use it to section rat brains.

so what happens to one who breaks a $10,000 slicer? I worried when I broke a $100 fax machine at one of my jobs, can't imagine something 10k broke due to me

Have you figured out why McCain beat Romney yet?

You'd save a lot of time with the Polytron.. Unless, of course, you're really set on the slicing thing.

Nothing I would guess. Probably just tell him not to break the next one.

Huh? I've not thought about it, but I'm pretty sure Romney dropping out has something to do with it.

Just tell him the cost will come out of his salary...

...which fortunately comes from your pockets . NIH grants FTW!

I'd like two pounds of proscuitto please. Get that thing fixed already.

my first 2 weeks in the lab they let me play with gold plated, 2micron spacers...I contaminated a 500g bottle. It was a shit ton of money but the guy who had me do it didnt get too pissed about it. Needless to say I never got to use them again.

and that my friends is why im a finance major now

I fixed it Remarkably, the machine is very simple, I move the limit switches and moved the stepper motor plate so the belts would tighten up.

You guys get to 'play' with said chemistry utilities in college? My AP chem class forces us to follow procedural labs that suck. Heavily.

reminds me of setting the alignment on a Commodore 1541 drive, back in the day.
