just....blah!

UGH. i love my job but at times it can be really boring...

like right now, i couldn't find out what solvent to use in order to dissolve my product..ethyl acetate didn't work...methylene chloride didn't work...same with ethanol and hexanes!!

i mean wtf! is my shit just not dissolvable in anything? i tried both ends of the spectrum...non-polar to polar so bleh! i don't know what to do now. i need to separate this stuff out...even when i read some papers about people using this stuff in their experiements they just did dry reactions so i couldn't even get a solvent out of it. on the other hand some people did a reaction with my product in DMSO at 60C but its not like we have a huge bottle of DMSO around.

so fuck...what else can i do to make it seem like i'm being productive?.....

hmm...maybe make more media for my cells..even though i don't really need any ;)
