Just another day for you and me...

...in the laboratory! (from 9-11 a.m. to 6-8 p.m.)

"How does a "normal" day look like? What are you doing there, in the UAB?"

Well, first of all, there doesn't exist something like a "normal" day!
Every day is different, with its ups and dows, depending mostly on the mood of the pilot plant.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm following the (8hrs) cycle of our pilot plant. The other days are filled with meetings and reunions, processing the collected data -and thinking about explanations-, reading -papers in general, sometimes online newspapers-, fullfilling the daily needs of our precious plant, keep an eye on the pilot plant (= to make sure it works 24hrs/day), making the alimentation (or feed, food for the bacteria, eetn vo de bjeestn), keeping the place clean, cleaning the probes, making sure the analyse of the samples is done, walking around in the ETSE, going to have a look and chat with colleagues, making pictures, picking up phones, reading emails, checking Facebook, going to the restaurant to buy myself a Cacaolat or one of these great muffins, buying train & bus tickets for the weekend and begging for credit cards, etc.

And yes, I do wish a day was more than just 24hrs!
