I spent from 11:00 am till 4:00 pm in the lab working on one reaction (the G1-Cl) and nothing… Sheesh, was I annoyed… I went back between 5:15 and 6:00 pm to put on another identical reaction which I'll be able to waste my time on tomorrow…

9:50 pm - Hmmm… bored as usual… I should go over to the computer labs and write a whole heap of replies to the email which is piling up, but as usual my motivation is scraping ground-zero…
