Oct 8/10 - Chem Stores
[69/365]
Somehow for the last three years I've sort of flown under the radar for chemistry lab jobs - e.g., "HPLC Guru" when no one in our lab even used the HPLC. My free ride was discovered, however, and I became the "Pre-weekend" stalk up girl. Basically I take a shopping list to the local chem stores every Friday and pick up whatever's needed. It's pretty gross - not only is it in a dingy basement, but I'm fairly certain that filling 24 L of acetone and hexane from big flammable barrels can't be the healthiest thing that I've ever done. Also - if you take a moment for the chemical inventory you may notice that there's a "...ch" and some grapes on a bottle. That's right - some random chemical is being stored in a Welch's grape jam jar.
