How do you know you've been doing too much cell culture?

1. You find yourself avoiding cranberry juice because pouring it into a glass reminds you of filling wells on a plate with Dubesco's Minimum Essential Medium.

2. On the way home you glance over up at the moon and see that it's partially covered with clouds, and you shudder because they look to you like colonies of cells that are growing too confluent.

3. You work at the cell culture hood straight through from 9 in the morning to 8 in the evening with a half-hour break for lunch, and know as you leave that you still haven't done all you need to and tomorrow will be just the same.

I'm sure more will come. Fellow exploited workers and/or scientists are of course welcome to add on.
