So new and fascinating source of stress:

Our lab had 2 incubators for cell lines. That's right: HAD. The CO2 regulator broke back in October, along with the fan in one of the incubators and taking out the other in the process, causing us to lose our cell lines. Due to the cost and the fact that this has been a really terrible year in terms of funding, we only fixed 1 of the 2 incubators -- meaning all of our current cells for experiments are in one incubator.

Yesterday the fan of our sole remaining incubator started making weird noises.

If I lose all my cells AGAIN this close to finishing my manuscript I may cry.
