So today I was on my way back to the lab after lunch and discovered that my building was closed off because something exploded. Now, this isn’t a rare occurance in my field, but it’s really ****ing annoying. They wouldn’t even let me go back in to grab my bag and coat, so I had to go home with nothing but a T-shirt on.

I had so many things I wanted to do today, and now I can’t do anything because it’s apparently a “safety issue” if I’m in the lab doing **** because some other idiot blew something up. I guess they’re worried about fumes or some ****, I don’t know.

It’s probably that stupid ****ing Inorganic chemistry lab. They always blow **** up. Last time they blew something up because nobody in their lab seems to realize that CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID DOESN’T ****ING BELONG IN THE SOLVENT WASTE CONTAINTER. They’ve also had a few fires because they don’t know how to work with inert atmosphere techniques, and destroyed our million-dollar NMR machine a few times through sheer stupidity.

I realize probably nobody will read this or care and whatever, but I’m just so damn angry right now and I needed to rant somewhere, and this is about as far from civilization as I can get.
