You know you've worked in a lab too long when...

you find yourself trying to repair a very dead pair of shoes with lab epoxy using a 1000ul pipet tip. I'm afraid I'll have to retire my favorite shoes; even after the epoxy treatment I can see my sock in a couple places through the shoe... not such a good sign, probably. Drat.

Why oh why...

doesn't Apple realize that not everyone has huge ears? I hate the little ipod earbuds; they're way too big for my ears and they hurt. :( I wish they sold child sized earbuds or something.

I know, I know, does that sound like an over-privileged Palo Alto child's complaint or what? But they really do hurt...


It took me a long time to break down and get an ipod, partly because I always think of this comic when I hear the word "ipod," and I get worried about having a robot chase me down the street...
