Day 8 The Flood


Not a great shot (taken "after"), and one that certainly does not do justice to the flood in the lab at 3:30 this morning. We had standing liquid under and behind two chemistry analyzers, the clean and dirty sinks, and on into Immunochemistry. It took a good while to locate the source of the problem, and I'm still bummed I didn't have the camera out when a coworker was standing in the flood, behind the analyzer, phone in one hand (talking to very disinterested hotline guy) and rouge tube in the other...and the tube began spewing liquid. At that time of the morning, after a major computer outage had shut down operations for hours and then three of the four chemistry analyzers went down--well, let's just say the giggling hysterics were not entirely out of the question.
