Murphy Is Me.

After an initial start date of my research collection (which should have been finished over the summer) for September 22, I was forced to push back the date to October 6th, because the manure handling machinery broke. (And then my contacts went out of town, so instead of three days, they pushed it back two weeks...)

So I'm scheduled to begin this morning, which is why I'm up at FIVE FRICKIN' TWENTY, AM.

However, I got a call last night - day before yesterday the DAMN HANDLERS BROKE. AGAIN. "Broke big time," my contact said. So we're starting with the 'handlers off' condition, which is NOT the way the project design goes, and is going to seriously change the way I look at results. By the time we're done with this condition, "we'll know whether or not they can fix the handlers." Whether or not. *weeps*

Why me? WHY MEEEEEE?

EEEEEEEEEEEE!!
