Mounting Kit


The old 4 Ladies and a Beaker is all but fizzled out and dissolved like sodium bicarbonate.

Gone are the days my SPE partner would leave me notes like this.


Our lab finally has new management, and the crew has doubled in size.
We've taken on research and development projects of new E.P.A. methods. 
Drinking water regulations are ever expanding as new pesticides and herbicides are allowed on the market.

I think management learned a lesson from the last batch of catty women new hires and has hired all men. 

This picture of Gidget perfectly sums up the feeling in the lab with 3 unhappy women.
I'm certain that the tension wafted out of our room, and floated down the hallways as volatile as methylene chloride.


Not that I'll change the name, but our group now more appropriately could be called:

 4 Dudes and a Hot Plate...
Or
4 Dudes and a Buchner...

Buchners on top, Beakers on bottom

Or my personal favorite:
4 Dudes 2 Ladies and a Mounting Kit...



Extractions room has finally calmed down in the aftermath of an explosive year.


We've even expanded rooms to develop our drinking water methods. 





This room has a window! Like a cat, we take full advantage of the sun spots coming in. A lab worker has to get their vitamin D in somehow.
