Miraba's Journal: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

At work, I use a fairly specialized piece of equipment for FACS analysis, a technique that counts cells that have been tagged with fluorescent markers. There are only a few other people who work with the machine, let alone know how all the options.

Something(one) screwed up and a bunch of settings disappeared. After banging my head against their nonsensical UI and their useless documentation, I finally found someone who was able to show me how to fix things. Kinda. Unfortunately, the settings for god knows what are off, and neither I nor my boss can figure out how to change them back to what they were last week.

I've wasted 45 minutes on the thing, and now I won't be able to get through it because it's too late and I'm going to leave work in 15 minutes.

Fucking technology.
