Ok, so I do have the repeat the tests. Which was expected. It'll be the third time I'm doing some of the sets now... ><
Well not NOW as in now, now though. Because they are still calibrating the machine. So I'll just play save and only do my experiments after we get confirmation that the machine is fine. One because I'm lazy. And two because we don't have that much sample left. Better not waste them really. I don't even know if the machine will be up tomorrow. Better to just wait and see. I did check out the samples in the lab though, there's a bunch of really old samples that I need to test too.
And sigh. It's not fun working with Ag2SO4. I have loads of holes in my jeans now. A hell lot more than I thought last time. Well the acid did not completely eat through the cloth to create a hole, but its threadbare in various spots now - I guess they'll become actual holes in a few more washes. And showing up white in the dark blue jeans. This really, really sucks. It's a brand new pair at that. Not yet a month old. And this! It's only the second time wearing it... well the first time I wore it was during those two weeks when I did a hell load of experiments needing that strong acid. So much so for wondering how others got acid on their pants. I got it too and I have no idea what happened either. Grrrr...
Gotta be a lot more careful next time... sigh... at least none of it splashed on my face, or skin. Or watch. I kinda need a new watch though. Idk what happened to it, must have banged it against the wall or something, because it's pretty dented now. Sigh. Didn't even notice it till like NOW. Sigh. I'm spoiling my stuff left right center. Well at least I've been using the watch for what... 5, 6 years? Since early on in uni? And it's October now. So that means my earphones has lasted a whole year at least. I think it's dying though. I keep debating whether I should buy a new pair now. Or wait till it really spoils. >< Why does it have to be so freaking expensive? Sigh.
Nov...
Why are there no public holidays in Nov? We have one day next Wedn for deepavali. But there won't be any Hawaii stuff to translate! Assuming I finish abunai this week as planned of course. Well probably I could attempt to clear a little backlog of the older shows that's in various stages of translation. Or maybe I should just enjoy myself and catch up on that 1.5 months of shows.
Weekends are seriously not enough! It's a fight between...
Family time.
Parents nagging at me to exercise.
Arashi time, which has to be further sub divided to:
Subbing
Watching Arashi shows
Writing fanfics
Listening to mixlr broadcasts. Or broadcasting if no one else is broadcasting.
Reading fics, magazine translations etc
Well pretty much the same for weekdays too, just that we don't go out on weekday nights that often. There's still the family time issue though, dinner time and parents wanting to watch shows together. I tend to just watch a little and go back to my room though. Have not watched running man properly in months! Seems like I won't be able to do mixlr broadcasts for a while now... hahaha ><
Guess that's all for now? Let's see if I can get another fic out. Or another translation. Or something.

Date: 2014-10-13 08:51 am (UTC)I know how tough it is to work in a lab, well in my case it isn't with Ag - though - "playing" with rats, and herb extract mostly.
And with Arashi in our life, well it's a bless, and indeed add some work too.
Gome for missed mixlr broadcast these days, just...my prof. degree just started, so yeah that's how it is.
I used to watched RM, but nowadays isn't anymore, *blame my Arashi addict
Let's keep up, for both RL and Arashi, hehe :D
