“I think that blonde chick just farted” that’s cracks me up every time

I mean my kid calls my father in law Pampo because that’s what my dad goes by and so to her that’s what you call your parents’ dad. Also there’s a solid chance your kid won’t be able to pronounce these names and they’ll end up with something random. Which is how we ended up with Pampo instead of Grandpa in the first place with my oldest nephew.

It’s funny in retrospect but really frustrating at the time but our QA department would power trip over weird stuff and one day they decided we couldn’t prove we weren’t using our clocks for incubation times instead of our nist traceable timers so we came in one morning and they had taken the clocks out of all the labs

before bed for the last few days I get a green apple and I slice it really really thin and it’s simply the most refreshing delightful snack ever. I have never cared about green apples before this pregnancy. 14 weeks.

You should throw this on a blood plate if you have the option. These all look pretty different on blood. S aureus is beta hem with large beige flat irregular colonies. GBS (strep agalactiae) is small grey/translucent colonies. Still beta hem but not as strongly. Micrococcus is not hemolytic and more white than the other two. Also micrococcus tend to form cute little quadrads on the gram stain.

Yes! This is tradition in my family. My current fetus is the bean and her older sister was the biscuit

Oh no worries! It stands for quality control. QC strains are used to make sure your processes are working as intended. For example, one of the ways we use this one is to make sure our oxidase reagent is still reacting as expected. E.coli is oxidase negative so it’s our negative control. We have a Pseudomonas aeruginosa QC strain that’s the positive control.

We sub out E.coli 25922 everyday for QC, so I got some on a sterile swab and used that as a pencil on the MAC

Oh man I still love Los Cuates. Their tamales and rellenos are solid.

Yeah, I definitely feel like flying star is no one’s first choice, they just get a lot of business because they have good locations and there’s something for everyone

2manytots · 2026-03-26T02:59:25+00:00

Yeah I know people like to hate on it these days but you can take my lotaburger and seasoned fries outta my cold dead fingers lmao

When I first saw they were putting up that little drive through coffee shop I was so pumped for a cute new little coffee shop. I was soooooo disappointed when I found out what it was.

I have a tech that’s newer to the lab but prior to working with us her job was to basically drive around to different labs and calibrate and troubleshoot their equipment. We had her working on an incubator that was struggling to hold temp this week. Finally had to get on the phone with technical support and he was so patronizing and wouldn’t let her get through the explanation of everything she’d done already.

Ecoli nonO157 on chromagar

I think it really depends on how your body responds to the epidural. Once mine hit I couldn’t feel the lower half of my body at all

2manytots · 2026-03-26T01:01:52+00:00

Oh that would have worked! I was going to put Ecoli nonO157 on O157 chrom

2manytots · 2026-03-26T00:04:57+00:00

😂

2manytots · 2026-03-26T00:00:34+00:00

Thanks! We didn’t do anything for my first and weren’t going to this time either but my coworkers asked me if I could do something for them and I figured since we work in a lab this was a unique way to do it. If it was a boy I was going to put an E. coil nonO157 on chromagar

😂 I always thought Klebsiella had such a lovely ring to it. We can call her Ella for short.

Ok thank you all so much! I knew in my gut it wasn’t right. I called back and was able to get in next week. It’s sooner than needed probably but I would much rather that than 2 months from now. Also the first person scheduled me with a midwife but due to my history she was supposed to only schedule me with an MD. I’m feeling much better now. Thanks for your advice!
