 Darn it.

Wasn't "that week" supposed to be over? Grrr.

Yesterday, while trying to do my testing, I had to make a couple of makeshift catheters. I made three. One by one, they each had some heater error and failed. All except the last one. Phew. I stayed late to make a couple of extra ones, but ran out of the original catheters so I only made two new ones. When I came in to put the balloon on the new ones, I ran out of balloons. Just the right number. The chick with access to all the extra catheters and balloons is apparently out for the rest of the week, according to her Outlook calendar. Argh. So if any balloon pops or any of the new catheters bust, then I'm screwed again. Bleh.

Since I had some extra time this morning (shocking), I decided to do the verification test with the one catheter that survived yesterday's testing. Have to do it anyway so might as well do it today. And..... balloon hole. Fucker. So now I can't use the one cath that I know works. That means I need to use one of my new ones, and I'm afraid to verify any of them before doing the actual tissue experiments since the verification uses thermocouples and now I'm deathly afraid one of the TCs will puncture the balloon.

Oh, and we supposedly have a test case in Philly on Monday. No real prototype, and if these caths don't survive today or tomorrow, then no makeshift caths, either. Ya know... sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed in the morning.

But... to make myself feel better....

Hee.

Darn it, the pic is kinda dark. Oh well... they need a little privacy for what they're doing anyway.
