back at work, 5.17.23

fought traffic to come to work. i had a hard time finding a parking spot, so i was going to park behind a column (others do this, too) and the parking guy came and told me i couldn’t park there. then when i get to lab, we have a hiccup on one of our experiments due to a defective membrane. it pushes us back until later in the evening. i don’t end up leaving until 7:30pm. my supervisor said i can comp a meal on the company card, but i don’t bring my wallet to work, so i think i’ll comp tomorrow’s dinner after hooping instead. as frustrating as things are right now, i question if i’ll ever miss this time in my life when it all works out for me.

something tells me i will, but it’s hard to be grateful in the moment sometimes.
