Last night nothing happened, tonight was not busy in general, but there was one ten minute span of time in which EVERYTHING went wrong. It was kind of unbelievable.
I walked into the plating prep room and the stir bar was skipping around the edge of my VRB rather than actually stirring it, the autoclave had been finished running for at least an hour (it's only supposed to sit for twenty minutes max after it's done), and the plating room table was a mess. I fixed all of these things, turned up the temperature on the VRB and went to plate. When I walked out of the plating room, the VRB was boiling over everywhere. When I poured it, I sloshed boiling agar all over the counter and my arm. When I finally cleaned up that disaster and went back to plating, I managed to get chicken broth in my eye.
The rest of the night went perfectly smoothly.
