Twisted

I twisted my ankle while playing badminton today. One moment I was hitting the shuttlecock back and another moment I was lying on the floor. It's the same lousy ankle that I always manage to get twisted.

So, I've been hobbling up and down the house and strangely, it seems to hurt more when I'm resting it. More so than when I'm putting pressure on it. That's not to say that it doesn't hurt when I walk. So I've got to limp a bit to keep minimal pressure on it.

All in all, it was a good game of badminton though.. :D And a good game of squash before that.

Pipette thieves

I don't see why certain people in the lab can't just find their own pipettes to use and stop taking what I had been using and would continue to use throughout the day. Even more annoying is why would they need two of the same pipettes?! Just change the volume on the single pipette like what everyone else is doing. What makes them so special that they need two pipettes? And to take the pipettes I've been using.

Even worse, changing my pipette for another one which is slightly faulty. Why can't you continue using that yourself?? Annoying people!!

Earning a bit of money

I went for an Economics experiment yesterday, studying how people make decisions. Every point that you earn will get converted cash which would be calculated and given out at the end of the experiment.

I don't feel like going into the details of the experiment, but the maddening thing was that people can be so selfish at times. How is it they profit from other people's investments while not investing anything at all.... made me not get a lot of money!!

Well, all in all, I managed to accrue 8.90 pounds.. enough for dinner last night, which wasn't a good dinner. The company was good.. but the food was below par..
