He also called about 20 minutes ago to discuss a misplaced staff phone (shitty Nokia that cost about £10).  He showed more concern for that than for the student.

I am incredibly gassy (probably from chasing yesterday's carne asada burrito with chili for dinner) and class starts in 15 minutes.

Good thing we're dissecting marine organisms today!  :lulz: The lab is going to be a cornucopia of smells.

So, at the new job. Nights. Horrible stuff.

I called the lady that my boss unjustly fired prior to the layoffs and asked her if she was still looking for work. I told her what the work was, and she laughed.

Then I told her what the pay was, and she stopped laughing.

So now she's employed again after 8 weeks of being out of work, making $10K more than she used to make, and I have a reliable employee who isn't afraid of anything at all.

which can be important when you're doing this kind of work in the dead of night.

Friend of mine works with injured birds, they have a long term bald eagle resident that lays a sterile egg every year. 

Can't help but wonder what bald eagle egg tastes like.

Probably very close to chicken eggs, but with a cod liver oil-esque overtone.

That's pretty much just paraphrasing what I said, man.

So my incredibly annoying Harry Potter-looking Emo Philips-soundalike intern has been increasingly obnoxious and needy, despite being put on some much easier tasks, and apparently she had some sort of meltdown yesterday and walked out early while all the researchers were in lab meeting.

She's been complaining about absolutely everything, and her most recent complaint was that 8 hours a week is too much of a time commitment, despite the fact that she signed up for research credit last term and is only here this term because she never showed up and took an incomplete.

I would have more sympathy for her, except that she has never, ever, not even once, actually been in the lab 8 hours a week. She arrives late, leaves early, and calls in sick/unavailable at least once a week. There is no way she will ever fulfill her time obligation to get a decent grade on the ONE credit she is trying to make up.

I can't wait until the end of the term, man. This is ridiculous.

That sounds suspiciously similar to a corporate work environment.

It sort of is like that, except this is not supposed to happen in a lab. Maybe she's just confused about where she is, and what research experience is supposed to do for her resume.
