What people don& #39;t tell you about being a scientist:
1) 80 percent of science is making mistakes and testing things that don& #39;t work. You& #39;re not stupid that& #39;s how it works
2) You are now the on-call IT for your whole extended family. I don& #39;t make the rules

Worst thing is? You actually dig that shit.
