wrong

Things have not improved. Our chemical storage refrigerator stopped working over the weekend. There are two reasons to keep chemicals in a cold storage refrigerator: it will decompose to something else or it has a very low boiling point and could generate enough pressure in a closed container to explode at room temperature. This means that you need to have an explosion-proof fridge, just in case. And we did, (luckily nothing blew up) but it also makes repair or replacement a much more expensive proposition for the lab.

In better news I should get my line back tomorrow.
