Catastrophe

There are different kinds of days, those that everything runs smoothly and those days when you do not even recognize yourself. Yesterday was one of the latter.

It started in the morning, and I should have known already then that I should just stay in bed. And to be true to you, that was kind of what I wanted to. I could not manage to get to work before 10.30. When I finally arrived all the disasters started to happen. I was miss scatter brain. Me, the person that is always on top of everything. The person that can manage 15 different things at the same time without any problems could not even boil water without burning it. The weirdest thing is that I did it twice. I also forgot to remove some essential parts from my gels as well, something that merely destroyed my last shot for a perfect figure before next week's conference. When I tried to get water and forgot to put the graduated cylinder beneath the tap, something that resulted in about half a liter of water on the floor I almost started to cry, but then I decided to laugh hysterically instead. The rest of the day the only thing my student had to do was to look after me. And at about 4pm I had managed to pull myself together, at least that is what I hope... I will find out when I go back to work.

I hope the building is still where it is supposed to be.
