What a bunch of cranky chemists!

To those of you who have customers that haven't thought out the X samples by Y time, have you considered doing the math for them at drop off so they know when to come back? They don't necessarily know what your run time is...Perhaps demanding a written due date, which is what I do, might help. I rarely have such issues.

A word of advice: Suffer fools gladly because someday you'll be the fool.

I just show up, smile, do my thing, and try not to bother getting annoyed. It's not productive, IMHO.

People who don't take responsibility for their actions and training.

People who waste my time.

Meetings, where nothing is accomplished. Bored? Call a meeting! Feeling lonely? Call a meeting.

Dishonesty in the lab.
