I found the more I work with high dollar equipment in a lab the more relaxed I've become with it. Everything is so obscenely priced in R&D you just get desensitized
As someone who builds $50k lab equipment, we service insanely abused units all the time. While they're expensive, customer service is great.
When you work with high value goods long enough in any field you get desensitized to it. However you compartmentalize it in weird ways.
I think nothing of ordering $800K worth of stuff at work. Then I get home and refuse to pay $8 for a fancy coffee because it's ridiculous.
Well you're not a multimillion dollar business so that makes sense. 8 dollars for coffee IS ridiculous.
Unless the boss is paying for it
