Ants terminator
Yup.. that's me!!! ok.. our lab is... infested with ants! and i can't blame anyone cause I am the one attracting it all (A) hahah ooops. Ok.. can't help it if i need A LOT of sugar to make up my samples. and.. the ants.. they are just too fast @____@ Ok... say I was washing up some stuff at the sink... and didn' treally clean the sink cause I'll need it later. So i walked off to my bench... and saw ants crawling around things that i might've spilled... so i'll clean it up... walk to the sink.. and ants would be gathered around there. @___@
Seriously.. i have come to a point where I'll never leave any experiment over lunch! cause I am just so scared that the ants will find my samples and er... ruining it!! So sometimes I'll have really really late lunches just coz i dont' want to leave stuff lying around. In a sense I kinda feel guilty tho... it's not the ants fault that they are attracted to sugary stuff... I have used...er... about... 4kg of sugar already.. so that's probabily heaven in ant's worlds... but what can I do right?
Hm.... ok.. so I have a problem...I have to put commercial jam in a container without really disturbing the structure... so after consultanting with ppl, i've come up with a plan to cut the bottom off the container, invert it, insert into the jam, then somehow scoop it out from the bottom. Only problem with that is that the jam bottles are quite narrow, so it's quite difficult to do that with spoon. So i went and talk to the technician today and ask if there's somethign with 2 sticks, attack to a hard bottom so i can slide it in and be able to level the jam out. And guess what he said
Technician:" yea.. i have a thought about your problem.. and i think the best way is to crack the glass open"
me: "?!?!?! eh?!?!?!"
Tech:" yea... i mean, you won't need the rest of the jam right? so it's jsut goign to go to waste anyway
me: "but but.. i'll need a lot of samples"
Tech:" that's fine.. just let me know when you are gonna do it, I can give you a hand"
me:" *still stunned... quite speechless by that stage"*
Tech:"it's a messy job... but I think it's the best way for your samples"
Ok... I have to agree.... i can probabily get the least disturbed gel structure.. but imagine the broken glass.... the jam splattering... the ants.... LOL Come to think of it.. Anathoth's jam is not even in glass jar......... hm.....
