Motorbikes motorbikes motorbikes

Friday nite was Motorbike HOHO at Gne. San wanted to come and check it out. It was fun to have her there, drinking beer, and absorbing the Gne culture. We went for therapy session afterwards, and this time it was better. What a difference. Taking a short nap before meeting up with Rachael at DNA Lounge on 11th/Harrison.
Saturday, we breakfast Cant Fail Cafe in Oakland. We watched people, read the Sunday edition, soaked up some rays. Driving back to my place to pickup her HD bike, with the seats and shocks replaced, we wanted to ride around the neighborhood. Later, we went out to dinner at 2223 Restaurant in the Castro district with Colleen and Robin. I was suppose to go to the symphony.
Sunday was spent going to Best Buy to exchange San laptop (under 14days, 14% restocking fee) and buy myself a cheaper memory card for my new Sony Powershot A560. We also went to look at condos on both days, newly built or remodeled, preferably in Oakland, for San. Back at her place we tried installing new door latches but didnt have a drill. Dinner was at a horrible Korean restaurant with Sylvia and Julie, before we headed back to my place, to take care of my poor neglected dog.

Quality

So i have been warned about the quality of my work...its not that i am getting sloppy but i get weird results and dont question it sometimes and then it gets presented.

1)The suggestion is to go over all data and generate history table to compare current results from past runs.
2)I could also put in some controls, other proteins, to see if it gets expected results to rule out instrument and columns and buffers.
3) is it in the water? making my proteins aggregate? come on, its in the buffer and then diluted. Solution is not to use water, dilute with formulation buffer or mobile phase.

Luckily it wasnt my fault completely. I need to establish trust that all data coming from me is reliable and the no. are solid and verified. Its like schoolwork, once submitted to my boss/professor it will receive a grade for accuracy. In this case, my job performance review.

I also need to label more explicitly protein/date/etc...
