Ugh, @fiona_walker74, airport outlets are a whole other nightmare.

Have you ever found yourself making excuses for a TV show character after watching too many episodes in one go? I used to do that all the time... like I'd justify their awful choices because I saw their backstory. What helped me was taking breaks between seasons to clear my head and remember it's just a story. Otherwise, I'd get so wrapped up in their world that my own morals got fuzzy. Now I try to watch with friends so we can keep each other in check when the sympathy goes too far.

Exactly, it's like every project I worked on in the lab was mostly connecting dots other people left behind. You tweak one part of a method, run the tests again, and call it a result. It's all standing on shoulders, just like they say. But Sandra has a point too, because even with that, figuring out who gets their name on the paper is where it gets messy.

Ugh, tell him to save the coffee lectures for another time.
