V-day?

Today my worst nightmare came true: I thought I was finally done with my lab project, just a simple sequencing step and done, but noooooooo, karma has it in for me. I don’t know why, but she keeps messing up my lab results. We need a serious conversation to sort this problem out, because this project is taking me over two months, which could have been done in weeks. But seriously, I felt like crying when I saw the forward and reverse sequence. None of them matched! How is that even possible?! 10 out of 48 is one of the worst results I've ever had. To make things worse, my project supervisor showed up out of nowhere (surprise, heart attack!), asking me how I was doing. Luckily, he understood my agony, and we've now called it "project headache". So instead of doing a second run, I did my first 48 samples AGAIN, which resulted in me being home at 7 (in a blizzard). God, I'm tired... Luckily, Grimm is on again, along with some horrible Valentine's day movies. I hate Valentine’s day. I feel its invented by people who are in a relationship to shove in your face that a) they have the perfect relationship b) you don’t have a relationship and c) that if you ever will have a relationship, it will never be as perfect as theirs. As a single, I hate having to explain why I’m single. Why is it so hard to believe that I’d rather be alone than date the other stupid 50% of the population? Seriously, I have yet to find a man who can top the relationship I have with my friends, pets, or chocolate for that matter. And to top things of, I've got my venipuncture exam tomorrow, hooray! Oh please karma, just let me pass the exam, I promise I'll be nicer from now on! I promise I won’t shop for a month (oh dear, don’t make a promise you can’t keep)!

With love,
