You are really, really close.
Let's see -
there really isn't much mechanical-bio test equipment. There is a lot of generic lab stuff (bottles, tubes, an evaporator, flask-o-rama, piles of pipets and spatulae). No frij - all y food items must stand the Dashboard Test. (Velveeta. Twinkies. The occasional Power Bar - in case of career ambition, break glass)
The 'puter is in a real live office - which is close to but doorable from the lab area. One big blacktop bench - and across it a fume hood. A bench taht's cabineted in with glass sashes and the air is always sucked out. Real handy for a guy like me (audibly poor diet). The hood is where the magic happens.
I have two potted plants - Dendrobium orchids. The big guy is slowly extending a flower spike (away from the monitor - does this meeeean anything?) My desk is a clutter - a choppy inland sea of papers, forms and the onerous debris of corporateness.
Since we're in the bottom of the solar year, empty cans of Caffeine-free Diet Coke are lining up on the windowsill. My office window opens southwest - and this seasonal shola of CA REDEMTION VALUE screens my quivering neurons from the wintry glare of El Sol. (Cool stst for if there ever are SI trading cards - for those who really know their sport).
And yes - SI is my labside friend.
