Turning the corner...

Well, shit. Life is pretty fucking good today.

I have been working on this dumb experiment for MONTHS now - trying to get ChIP to work. There has been lots of plotting to set my bench on fire, wanting to blow up the lab, and general crankiness during this optimization process. Today, though, I received the results from my last run and it totally fucking worked. Perfectly. Beautifully. The most perfect ChIP protocol ever.

Holy fucking shit. I am the motherfucking ChIP master. At least, I am today.

My paper came back from the boss, and there really aren't that many notes. Then she added that I was a great writer. I felt like she put a little A+ sticker on my paper and a big smiley face. It felt good.

Things have been so fucked lately in the lab. I'm not really talking to anyone anymore due to the horribleness of the last month. By that, I mean no chit-chatting - just work-related stuff and typically polite pleasantries. Amazingly, though, I've discovered that I get a fucking shitload of experiments done now. This has been one of the most prolific periods of my time in the lab, and it's wonderful.

So, with all of the sudden good fortune in the lab, I'm expecting that my paper will be submitted within the next 4-6 weeks. Fuck yeah.

Everything's coming up Millhouse.
