Discovered this group, “You know you’ve worked too long in a lab when”. Here are some ‘whens’ listed in the group recent news.

1. You wonder what absolute alcohol tastes like with orange juice

8. You’ve wondered why you can’t drink distilled water in the lab - It should be clean?

14. People wearing shorts under a lab coat disturb you slightly as they look as though they might be naked underneath

16. Safety equipment is optional unless it makes you look cool

24. As has been pointed out to me on several occasions - You can no longer spell normal words but have no trouble with spelling things like immunohistochemistry or deoxyribonucleic acid.

32. You have an irresistible urge to rip your shirt off superman stylie cos it has press stud fasteners just like your lab coat…..Most often occurring as you walk through a door just like exiting the lab….

41.Your nose invariably itches when you’re doing mucky stuff with your hands so you develop the habit of scratching it on your upper arm. Unfortunately you sometimes carry this habit over to real life, where it looks like you’re sniffing your armpits

10 reasons why we play facebook in lab:

• Playful version of friendster, more fun.
• Game like pirates simply by applying brainless click. it’s the BEST thing to kill time when 5-10 minutes centrifugation seem century long…
• Very easy and simple, need no brain, not as distracting compare to other online game
• Not much of time need on any of the game, good alternative to have 5 minutes break from brick-thick journals.
• Play slayers when feel like slaying somebody who accidentally throw your tube.
• Lab environment was a little bit uneasy when four interns first came in. Conversation becoming natural when we invite each other join facebook.
• Lab-mate A’s warbook was attacked by a moron out of no where, and was warned not to attack back. We were pissed off, and decided to sabotage the moron. Lab was united at that moment.
