SPRING BREAK! YEAHRG!

Laboratory is silent.

Me: *staring at lines and lines and lines of sequences on several monitors, surrounded by coffee cups, energy drink cans, and boxes of Sudafed*

Labmate: *working on a really important experiment so she can finish a paper and fucking graduate*

Labmate: ... SPRING BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!

Me: SPRING BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK YEEEEEEEEEEEEAHRG!!!

Labmate: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHRG!!!

Laboratory is silent again.
