My work hours are pretty inconsistent, because I'm a pretty inconsistent person. I like that. If I get too consistent I get bored.
Monday: Wake up 9:30. Group meeting 10:30. Meet with a few people I manage until 1 p.m. at which point I have a meeting with the boss to go over projects and budgeting for the previous week. Then I prep lab stuff for the week and do the ordering.
Tuesday: Wake up at 9:30 and have first meeting at 10:30. That's over by 11:30. Then it's super variable. Usually I have a few things to prep and I leave by 2 p.m.
Wednesday: Wake up whenever I want. Go in whenever I want. Get things done. Usually I start a few experiments that take 2-3 days to complete on Wednesdays. So I'll start by running the gels, plating the cells, etc. If anybody else needs help I help them with things.
Thursday: Same as Wednesday, but usually my experiments are further along. I leave when I finish.
Friday: Same as Thursday.
Then weekends I come in for 1-2 hours to do my mice treatments. We have 1-2 mouse experiments at any given time which we're hoping will have good results and move on to phase I trials.
Some weeks that means I'm working 60 hours because I'm grafting mice. That was last week. I grafted 100 mice with various tumor models. This week I don't have much to do since they have to sit for a week before I can start treatment. Sometimes I have meetings around specific projects, like last week I had one on Wednesday to discuss the next direction for a project. We're trying to manufacture an antibody for a clinical test. If we can pull it off and make the clinical test that'll give consistent income to the lab and get us at least a few more staff members.
Next week I expect I'll be interviewing for a new position we just put out for.
Do you see yourself doing this for the rest of your life or you'd much rather pull out from working and instead, make enough money to be free from work, make enough returns to be high in the green while also being able to help the world your way?
If you tell me what you do now is all you need to be happy and that job make you feel full filled, guess you good. I mean kudo to you if that's what you enjoy doing. I'm someone who hate to do the same shit over and over. I need to go to new places, meet new people. If not, i need my bubble and that's when i'm in the wood gardening, taking care of my livestock and doing finance.
I mean, your life doesn't sound boring if that's what you do. Could be fun for someone who enjoy that type of stuff.
Ima say something. Right there, it was okay to talk with you.
When you switch to that other persona, it's different.
For a minute, you didn't feel the need to shove all that through my throat with a superior complex following. It was straight up educational and straight to the point.
Take it like you want but here a suggestion. When you argue with people, instead of asking for proofs, go ahead and do the research and counter proof what would be a proof from them to you. That way, you put weight to your explanation.
Most of the time, you know someone might be right but you'll ask them to bring complete proof which most will give up on cuz they don't give enough fucks but if they were given the benefit of the doubt, more people would actually chime in, some would probably add up to the conversation allowing everyone to have a better understanding of the subject at stake.
Reason i often spam the shit out of this board is because it's very simple to see both party are so damn wrong and i can't even name 3 persons who are actually not living 100% within their political brackets excusing everyone who do wrong within their brackets.
Either way, this piece of text from you was more entertaining than the usual shit.
