Wasted

Wasted.
Another day.
Just because... my lab partner's bike tire punctured this morning, hence he was late.
Just because... I couldn't start because he held the keys to the cabinet which stores the equipments we need.
Just because... after he arrived, my lab partner and I kept popping into different labs, looking for each other throughout the morning.
Just because... I was constantly diverted to his voicemail, he didn't reply to my sms, called his office but he was not in.
Just because... we only managed to locate each other when I went back to office to email him at 1130.
Just because... finally at noon, we met in the lab but he realised that he left an important coupling at home.
Just because... he had to cycle home to get it (which I'm very very grateful for, otherwise I could not have gotten everything set up this afternoon and commence testing tomorrow)
Just because... I spent 2 hours after lunch setting up the lighting, background, various maxillary equipments and configuring the machine.
Just because... lab closes at 4.30pm but I was asked to pack up at 4pm.
I want to work, but work doesn't get done and 8 hours just slips by effortlessly.
Freaking irritating.
