Everyday Scientist

feeling predictable

On my way into lab this morning, I walked into the cafe in the EE building and the server said, “An everything bagel with cream cheese and tea for here?” I suppose I order the same thing when I go in there early in the morning. Then, at lunch, the ladies in the burrito truck knew my order.

Maybe I’m too predictable.

But then, this afternoon, I was with my labmate Nick (a physical/organic chemist—wow!), who was helping me take NMR spectra of some photo-oxidation products. The NMR lab manager walked by, looked at me, and asked, “Sam, what are you doing in an NMR lab?”

Ha! Didn’t expect that, didja?
