Comment on *hands to an undergrad*

I found the more I work with high dollar equipment in a lab the more relaxed I’ve become with it. Everything is so obscenely priced in R&D you just get desensitized
When you work with high value goods long enough in any field you get desensitized to it. However you compartmentalize it in weird ways.
I think nothing of ordering $800K worth of stuff at work. Then I get home and refuse to pay $8 for a fancy coffee because it’s ridiculous.
Well you’re not a multimillion dollar business so that makes sense. 8 dollars for coffee IS ridiculous.
Unless the boss is paying for it

As someone who builds $50k lab equipment, we service insanely abused units all the time. While they’re expensive, customer service is great.
