It's definitely time to go home.
I've been running some HPLC injections, and some GCMS injections at the same time... and I went to repeat an experiment, and all I could see was the air bubble and no other absorbances.
Aaaaaand, when I checked the sample carousel, it seemed that I had forgotten to replace the sample in its slot, and hence of course all I was getting was air.
Dooooopey.

Must've been something in the air today. I left something out in the final step of my experiment today, so when I did the microscopy, there was nothing interesting to see. No data for the experiment. Fah. Hopefully yours was salvageable...

heh heh.
Actually I would have called Arafel over to help me fix it. That's a much more realistic scenario. ;)
