Meanwhile, back in 1951…

This person is not particularly liked around the place. This

I just used [the gel-doc system] and the person before me had left a puddle of liquid on the glass base.  Judging from the photo taken I presume this liquid would have been contaminated with ethidium bromide.

This sort of mess left on common-use equipment shows a certain amount of laziness and disregard for colleagues, not to mention the potential damage to the instrument.

So whoever left the mess, get your act together and clean up after yourself.  If the box of tissues is empty, as it was when I used the instrument, go and get another box – like I had to.

None of this is all that difficult.

is particularly vile. But what made me spew a kidney was the line after her name but before the nine line .sig…

SAFETY – Stop and think – life can change in a blink

Bleh. Please.

  1. The Doctor Says:

    At least you know who’s complaining. We always got our complaints anonymously through various lab managers. At every lab meeting the LM would get some time to tell us what people (in our lab or others) had been complaining about. Lights on, lights off, missing equipment, empty bottles of reagent, missed cleaning duties, radio on too loud, missing glass cuvette, etc. Very passive aggressive. I usually just did my own complaining in his complain-section of the lab meeting (It was meant for everyone, but it was usually just him and me and one other person venting our frustrations)
