Hit With A Tough Question When The SEM Had An Error

Nothing quite captures the existential dread of research like a SEM asking if you're "O.K." while warning of impending data delays. No, machine, I am not O.K. I've been waiting three weeks for microscope time, my advisor needs results yesterday, and now you're philosophically questioning my mental state? The true scientific method: click "Yes" while internally screaming "No" on every level. Nothing says "modern research" like having an emotional breakdown in front of expensive equipment that's showing more concern for your wellbeing than your PI has in years.
