I feel boring - only thing I ever had to realize that if you work with solvents with a boiling point close to body temperature and have them in a flask with a glass cork, you shouldn't hold the flask in your warm hands while waiting - because after a few minutes the glass cork flies off and you have to pay for it 😕
