??? Disappearing posts and my recently awful job.

Okay. So last time I posted, I wrote a long thing complaining about a problem with the BF. Yesterday, I couldn't log in to blogger (no one could for a while, apparently). Today, I show up, and that post is gone? I don't feel like rewriting it, and I don't have it saved anywhere.

SO, here it was in a nutshell. BF (who quit smoking in October) has been smoking for the last two months and hiding it from me. I got super upset because when I caught him, he lied about it, and then finally came clean. My own neuroticism (due to my history with my lyin' cheatin' ex husband) lead me to believe he was having an affair (he's not) and get SUPER upset about him lying to me and hiding it from me for so long. Especially since I'm pretty sure he knows that I wouldn't have even been all that upset about finding it out in the first place.

Anyhow, because I under eat when I'm stressed, I had a day where I worked out twice and ate less than 1100 calories. I decided to nip that in the bud right away, especially since BF and I are well on our way to working things out. I don't want to stall my healthy journey by being fatigued due to undereating.

At work, we're putting together all the final documents for submitting our recent research to a journal. It is a LOT of work. Everyone compiles their data into a document that should be uniform in format. However, my coworkers are idiots that don't understand "uniform" or "format" or "data," so I'm having to go through pages and pages of things that look like this:
¹H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl₃) δ = 7.41 – 7.21 (m, 7H), 7.22 – 7.16 (m, 2H), 6.35 (dd, J = 1.4, 6.1, 1H), 6.16 (qrt, J = 7.0, 1H), 5.94 (d, J = 6.1, 1H), 5.22 (s, 1H), 4.74 (dd, J = 3.4, 9.8, 1H), 3.95 (d, J = 16.1, 1H), 3.74 (d, J = 16.1, 1H), 2.54 (d, J = 9.8, 1H), 1.69 (d, J = 7.0, 3H). ¹³C NMR (126 MHz, CDCl₃) δ = 166.99, 163.23, 137.78, 135.76, 135.11, 132.41, 131.73, 129.35, 129.01, 128.43, 128.31, 127.77, 127.45, 100.04, 94.18, 81.95, 78.16, 48.01, 43.13, 11.16.

And make it look like this:
¹H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl₃) δ = 7.41-7.21 (m, 7H), 7.22-7.16 (m, 2H), 6.35 (dd, J = 6.1, 1.4, 1H), 6.16 (q, J = 7.0, 1H), 5.94 (d, J = 6.1, 1H), 5.22 (s, 1H), 4.74 (dd, J = 9.8, 3.4, 1H), 3.95 (d, J = 16.1, 1H), 3.74 (d, J = 16.1, 1H), 2.54 (d, J = 9.8, 1H), 1.69 (d, J = 7.0, 3H). ¹³C NMR (126 MHz, CDCl₃) δ = 167.0, 163.2, 137.8, 135.8, 135.1, 132.4, 131.7, 129.4, 129.0, 128.4, 128.3, 127.8, 127.5, 100.0, 94.2, 82.0, 78.2, 48.0, 43.1, 11.2.

I have to do tiny tiny things like changing the types of dashes used, italicize all the J's, reverse the orders of the constants, for example, changing (dd, J = 3.4, 9.8, 1H) to  (dd, J = 9.8, 3.4, 1H), and changing all the two decimal place ¹³C to having only one decimal place. Oh, and did I mention that I have to count the number of H's represented and C's in each molecule (for example, this compound should have 20H's and 20 ¹³C peaks. Oh, and I also have to make sure that the ¹H data makes sense (for example, making sure that if a peak is a dd, that it has two J constants).

Obviously, each one of the TINY MOTHERFUCKING MINUSCULE DETAILS must be changed one by one. And because my boss doesn't trust the idiots that fucked it up the first time to fix it, it's MY JOB. Even though I tried to explain about 20 times the right format. And this sort of thing is not conducive to being active and on my feet all day like I'm used to. Unsurprisingly, I'm left MORE tired at the end of the day than when I'm up and about. I'm tired just writing this by now, so that'll be all until next time.
