Tubes

My office is not large in the grand scheme of things. My desk tends to be a bit cluttered, though not nearly as much as my packrat office mate's. Earlier this week, I received a big box full of...tubes. One thousand 50-mL centrifuge tubes, to be exact, which chewed up about half the available open floorspace. My chair takes up the other half. The geeky among you can guess where this is going:

My office is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck! It's...it's a series of tubes!
