The annual lab inspection is today!! There's a palpable sense of excitement in the air, butterflies flutter in otherwise immune (ha) tummies, hearts skip beats. There are whispers of "Is the inspector here yet?" and faces peek into the room of the lab superviser.
*Snort*
Okay, not really. Yes, we are in dire need of excitement in our lives, but really, even WE aren't particularly excited by lab inspectors or inspections. For one thing, we can never find anything after the inspection. Things have been moved around, jammed into draws, hidden out of sight, gloves that you would like to reuse are suddenly whisked into the trash can by a dozen unseen hands.... it's not fun, I can tell you.
And there's the question that always gets different answer every time you ask it: Can we continue to work while the inspection is going on? Rationally, you would think, yes. But then again... what if there's some catastrophic mistake in the method of my working that has escaped my attention all these years and which the eagle-eyed, granite jawed inspector will immediately spot and suspend me from working?
Okay, time to stop speculations. The inspector is here. Hey, she looks kinda young to be an inspector.
I think I can go and work in the lab now.
