but this morning I was helping my PI set up for a MACS sort that was a presort for a FACS sort scheduled at 12pm.
and I had just processed 9 mouse spleens for this through a cell strainer.
and he was handing the tube of cells to me from the centrifuge, so I could resuspend them and and lyse the RBCs.
and what do I do?
I drop the fucking tube of cells, and the 50ml falcon tube fucking shatters and spills cells everywhere.
so my PI had to run back down to the animal facility, get 9 more mice, and redo the whole thing.
what the fuck it's like I'm a butterfingers five year old... I can't believe this.
I kinda want to go put my head in the fume hood now.
