In need of time management
Sunday, January 28, 2007
I can't believe how disorganized I have become. I'm been quite pissed off lately. My sup was also involved in the project and starting from monday he has to take up on another one. I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, considering I have to purify 6 types of proteins. Damn it. One is already purified and I have about 5 more to go. What's maddening is the fact that I try to go to school early and I almost always have to leave the lab at a late time. Why? So many reasons. Waiting time is one thing, another is the fact that I need to wait for others to finish using the equipment before I can use it. The latter is not a very big problem. The thing is, I plan what I have intended to do and suddenly people just tell me, " Hey can you do that procedure today? I'm like what?!" But I can't really complain about it right?
Another thing I want to complain is that, the JC students attached to my lab do not have the decency to return things back where they are supposed to be. Make buffer already? Put the things back and wash them lah. Don't expect me to wash them for you. I hope they remember to return things back in future. I told them once already. Now my colleagues are all complaining about it also. Can you imagine my lab is already so darn crowded, and I don't really appreciate you girls leaving your mess behind on a table and make it look even messier?
Remember about hypocrites? I find that everyone must be wary of hypocrites, especially those in the working world. Everyone wants to please the boss.... =_=" Everyone is a hypocrite, right? *Points to everyone, including myself*
I'm not sure why, but I have begun to get a little sick of things.
I'm starting to get very pissed off in my lab. One day I may really retaliate. I hope my temper does not get out of control.
I'm not going to bloody starve myself just to finish up on the project. They always ask me why I never plan my experiments? But the fact is I did. You don't bloody ask me why I never plan my experiments when I go home late. Do you think I want to reach home late? How would I know that the flow rate of my column became darn slow? Sure, I can use a syringe and pump air into the column. But you think that is good for my proteins? I don't really think so. Leaving the lab late does not necessarily mean that I never plan the darn experiments. I can't help it when I want to start on another experiment suddenly when I feel the urge to, just to finish up on the project. Ok, I shall concentrate on certain proteins first. Not in a rush to finish up on every protein.
* And you don't bloody judge me *
When I really get flared up, you don't really want to come near me.
Another thing is about grades and gender. I can't believe how sexist people still are and~ how they compare grades. Sure, I'm not an Ace student. So what? People need not be highly educated to become earn more than university graduates. I minor in psychology because of interest, not because of how many As I don't have on my transcript. You think I like to juggle schoolwork with labwork? Just because the bloody system always make the pyschology modules clash with my core modules, I have to take them this semester. Anyway I'm just talking about a colleague. Not the boss.
Yea, I think that's about it all. Think I'm going to complain again next week.
