saturday night in the lab

Well, I am here trying to do an experiment, but it's not really working. I should have known, but usually when I try something new I have this irrational optimism that it might actually be fun (and easy).

Oh well.

Anyway I am getting close to giving up for the evening and going home. This is probably as much as I could expect for a first attempt, and I am all set to come back and try again tomorrow. Of course, if the equipment weren't always busy during the week, I wouldn't have to sacrifice my personal life for failed experiments...
