If it's any consolation
it happens to all of us. 3 years on one project in the same lab drove me and my PhD student to split all of science into "a good thing" and "a bad thing" (we once tried to get "and the elevated levels of host cell protein in the purified Fab' fraction are most definitely a bad thing" into a paper, but failed)

I believe this tactic has now been adopted by the daily mail.
