I thought you said you had more than one bad experience where you'd had someone in your lab (or maybe you meant in class?) as an undergrad and then took them on as grad students only to find out they didn't have the right stuff.

I have a list of things I need to do. It wasn't relaxing and I didn't get any work done, so all in all it was just kind of a waste of time. So I dragged myself in today, expecting the whole day to be one big long battle to get anything done, since none of the things I need to do are fun.

Yup, working on the holidays really drives home that point that we work in a vacuum, and nobody cares. It's not like I get any credit for working hard unless I have data figures in hand, and even then nobody is impressed by how hard I had to work to get them.

But I sometimes forget how much I love my collaborators. Sometimes it's just really nice to know I'm not the only one who has bad job days, or gets annoyed about stupid little things not so much because of the things themselves but because they happen repeatedly and we have no say in changing them.

Hey y'all, and especially to the ones who wrote the impassioned "Get on medication now!!" diatribes, I'm feeling a lot better this week. Know what I did? I went to two yoga classes this weekend, instead of one. ) I know I'm supposed to have faith in science and all that.

So again this morning I was in the shower, thinking about blogging and why I blog, especially why I blog anonymously, and whether I should continue to blog. Sometimes I stand there in the shower thinking, if I don't get out of the shower, I don't have to deal with the rest of the day.

Well I'll tell you why. Well I'll tell you why. Because I don't have the money for the reagents I need. I have to spend most of my time, wasting my time, doing experiments that I know won't work just to prove that they won't work, because they don't respect my considerable experience.

Nobody else went. There was this weird long pause, like in slow motion, where I could see the heads of the other drivers turn to look at my car and then look at the light. And I had that moment of doubt like, "Wait a minute, did I just go on a red light?" but I looked up and no, it was green.

Believe me when I tell you I've seen enough outright manipulation of projects and people to be well aware of what PIs have in mind when they're ignoring one person, pushing another, burying data, rushing papers, and all the other wonderful things people do when their money and ego are on the line.
