Part of my thumb has been reacting badly to the bandaging. Which means it has to be kept exposed. Which means I can't wear a glove over it. Which means I'm back to being one-armed once more.
On the day when I plan a colony PCR, no less. (Fifty colonies, and six controls. Each one individually picked out and loaded onto a gel after the PCR. You do the math.) And the thing is that doing it one-handed is only slightly slower than with both hands. Is there anyone who actually enjoys doing colony PCRs?
Skills mastered so far:
Left-handed pipetting
Left-handed labelling
Left-handed, one-handed gel loading
One-handed Parafilm sealing of plates
One-handed, four-fingered typing
One-thumb grossing-out of anyone who looks at it
