I really cant believe how stupid i can get. I actually forgot to add my control sample to run the gel electroporation test! SHIT! If you ask me, its as bad as having 10 new pens and out of all the 10 pens, you brought a pen which ran out of ink to a final year biology or history test where you have to write pages and pages of long essays!
Come to think of it, it not as bad as forgetting to bring your pen. Ultimately, you could still raise your hand and borrow one. Infect, it should be, you trained like crazy for months before a race and while you are at the lead and coming to the end while the rest are like 200m away, you tripped and fall. If you tripped because you lost balance suddenly or had a leg crap or even tripped over a rock, while, you can be forgiven. BUT if you tripped because you took a bigger step suddenly, which you should not have because you are already leading, and fall while the rest past you, then you should start cursing and swearing yourself.
That how serious the mistake a made was. What makes me feel more stupid was that i was repeatedly taught not to let my guard down like so many times. First was when i was an OGL where Mr Leow taught us that we should always be alert and look out for our campers even if i was after JJ night. Second time was when Lana told me to get all my protocols clear before doing anything for it would be really stupid to make a mistake if you do your experiment wrongly. Third was when Shyan nagged at me telling me that i should always look and refer to my notebook before doing anything.
Seriously, i am really pissed with myself. Making it worst, i made the same mistake once before in another experiment. Learning it so many times and repeating it is definitely a no no. I really should go to the nearest wall and start banging my head against it now.
I then taught of going home and just sleep so that tomorrow would come and i could start everything a new. Guess what? While walking down this road, it started to rain HEAVILY and i had no umbrellas with me. When i was no where near from home. I ran to the wet market and walked to the furthest shelter place i could. I then found myself standing outside this car repair shop. When i stopped to think, the light outside the shop went off. FUCK.
