| Red | funds uncertain at the moment; hoping to remain solvent for a few more precious weeks before the lab becomes no-capital and I need to find alternative solutions for keeping the mutations functional |
| Red-Orange | coffee machine no longer works, looks like I may need to alter my old hotpot and use it for brewing in the morning but on the bright side it'll be just like grad school again |
| Orange | note to self: adjust angular velocity of centrifuge lest we have another incident with the authorities |
| Orange-Yellow | no modification needed to the trainers' salary; they are already amply compensated for their work, and who doesn't love a free tote bag |
| Yellow | so much riding on this latest experiment, the transmutation MUST be successful |
| Yellow-Green | decided to let the mixture marinate for another week before conversion |
| Green | it's times like this (3 AM on a weekday with a screaming fire alarm that I can't modify) that I'm glad I no longer have roomates |
| Teal | there are no good outcomes of fobbing these transformed samples off on someone else, except of course that I no longer have to deal with them and also that smell would probably be gone |
| Cyan | to add to shopping list: iron to remove persistent rumple from my lab coat, not that anyone else can tell the difference |
| Blue | I am a sailor on the seas of science, seeking substitute sundry solutions |
| Purple | might grow some facial hair and vary my appearance a bit, but what to choose: beard, mutton chops, fu manchu, other? all good options, to be sure |
| Pink | email from my old colleague Raphael LeBousco today looking to catch up while he's in town - how to tell him that the ape he once knew has metamorphosed into someone entirely different |
