      I’ve never properly lost my temper at work (I’m not an angry person). I do however get very annoyed because the two guys in the lab never clean our sonicator, which is basically a waterbath which vibrates to clean samples. They leave it so all this stuff grows in the water and it makes me very grumpy because I always end up cleaning it!

      It turned out I had been using a programme illegally because the person responsible hadn’t paid for it. I didn’t know and I was a bit angry when I found out…

      Last time I was running an experiment and I couldn’t use an important piece of equipment because the person who used it before me had broken it and hadn’t fixed it or told anymore. Ruined my entire experiment and I got a bit angry.
