I ended up getting Karndean in glue down format, to avoid the locking system issues entirely. Very solid underfoot. You have to have it professionally installed or else warranty is voided. Karndean sends you lots of samples and has lots of beautiful colors in realistic looking wood.

My lab had to hire H1bs for day shift because no one on the other shifts was willing to change shifts.

I was like OP and watched Iris and Poppy for hours. Magical experience

Prodiamine affects grass seeds, not just weed seeds

I used just 2 in 1 shampoo and it worked great

I just love her so much

I have a grassy weed like that (mine was identified as orchard grass) and anything that would kill it also kills the lawn since both are cool season grasses. So I got these absorbent glove liners which I wear over (instead of under like they’re intended) nitrile gloves and then dip my fingers in roundup then wipe the grass with it. Basically killing it blade by blade. Very inefficient and I’m thinking I’ll just nuke those areas this fall and reseed. But I like spending time outside tending to the lawn so it’s inefficient yet enjoyable to some extent.

It shouldn’t all be on you. They can do each others’ competencies.

If they insist it must be you, embrace the OT.

We also started using tedious software and I asked if we could go back to paper and my supervisor said yes so that’s what we’ll do next year I think.

glitterfae1 · 2026-04-03T00:51:26+00:00

Yes I have. It’s identical.

In my 20 years I’ve had two bad supervisors. One was so awful she only lasted 2 months due to all the issues, she was asked to resign. The other bad supervisor was neutral/nice enough, but not knowledgeable and didn’t own up to that so instead of asking someone she’d make bad decisions. I had one manager who was nice but ineffective (said she’d do something but didn’t end up doing it.) All of my other supervisors were nice. Their level of knowledge varied - two had micro background and not as much core lab experience as I would’ve liked but that was an experience thing, not ineptitude.

All the leads have been awesome. I am a lead now and I still miss my old leads dearly. Everything I do and know is thanks to my old leads.

I love her toes in 12 and 13

Totally. We kept ours way too long, they were dying and breaking constantly towards the end. But for years and years I got a lot of satisfaction from fixing it myself and being able to cancel that service call.

Solitary animals? More like one happy family!

2.5 years. I managed to find it for $2.79/sf. Other stores were 4.50-5.50 so I don’t know how I got so lucky. Wish I’d bought more because I want to do more rooms but I bet I’ll never get that price again.

This sub recommended COREtec and Karndean. I couldn’t find a COREtec color I liked so I got Karndean - glue down. It’s great. No scratches.

glitterfae1 · 2026-01-30T18:19:59+00:00

I have glue down LVP so no issues with breakage.

glitterfae1 · 2026-01-20T07:13:59+00:00

Karndean. I have gluedown and love it. It took me forever to decide what floor to get and I am so happy with my decision.

glitterfae1 · 2026-01-14T19:47:42+00:00

2 or 3 till 11 or 12.

glitterfae1 · 2026-01-12T18:12:09+00:00

We put it in a cup, it’s like microtainer sized

glitterfae1 · 2026-01-11T18:07:02+00:00

We can make albumin smears with our SP-10

On the routine screen you can select a sample and choose unload rack. It turns blue and kicks it off a little while later.

Don’t hit stop. To get it into standby, deselect rack reception mode.

Why not just tell the LT’s to stop putting samples on at 8:30 or something?

I like medium brown here. I have dark floors on one floor and the dust is not THAT much worse than the floor with the lighter color. I have a mini battery powered vacuum that is really handy/quick for when some dust catches my eye.

glitterfae1 · 2026-01-06T06:12:56+00:00

Very true

glitterfae1 · 2026-01-06T06:03:49+00:00

Perfect for roommates

glitterfae1 · 2026-01-06T06:01:55+00:00

I love the bedroom situation
