I hate NMR

ARGH! I have spent the past 3 hours fighting with data analysis equipment. Samples have been spilled or contaminated. The solids aren't going into solution like they should. The C13 - NMR isn't giving me any data. Wheee. I really do like chemistry, but today I think I'd rather be anywhere else. The only thing stopping me from taking a baseball bat to this instrument is the hundreds of thousands of dollars I don't have to replace it.... that and I don't have a bat with me.
