Nerd Alert

There was a bunch of lab supplies being given away *still not sure why* in the stockroom at work. Everybody was told to go down and get supplies at 3pm. Our boss told us to go down before then, so we *my labmate and I* headed that way about 5 minutes early. Well, getting on the elevator with our cart was an experience. There was already a bunch of labs headed that way with their carts in tow. When we got on the elevator it was just us, but right before the doors closed another lab came with their cart. So we closed the elevator door in their faces held the elevator door open so they could ride down with us. Even  though we were technically early, we were like the last ones there... It was like black Friday downstairs. People were running from the tables and grabbing stuff till their hands were full and running back to put it on their carts. It was kind of intense, yet exciting! I just started grabbing things, so that we could actually get some stuff before the crowds took everything. Some  things that I had no idea what they were but what the heck they're free, so why not! Overall, I think it was a pretty successful adventure.

This our cart loaded up full of FREEEEEE supplies!





My favorite find of the day. *Thanks to my labmate*

how cute is that!



Just in case you can't tell... its the smallest beaker ever! Only 10 mL, which probably means nothing to non-scientists, but trust me... These things are ADORABLE! If you could see it and hold it in person, you would think so too. Trust me. And yes, I am a nerd.

These beakers are a little more commonly found in a lab (1000mL). Just for comparison is the 10mL beaker we got today. Already trying to think of an experiment so that I can use it!
