Lab rat? Or not?

[chemwipe]

Judging from the replies in the Work Clothes thread, I'd assume that most of us in here are lab rats (some just dressed better than others, haha).

Am I correct?

The employees in the plant where I work call me a "lab guy."

"Man, you eat so healthy, you're such a lab guy."

Hahahaha.

I'm either in the lab gathering data or in the office trying to make sense out of it...

I'm definitely a lab rat. I was hired out of a two-year program at a comm. college to run IR scans. A few weeks of that and they moved me to wet chem, not long after I started prepping LC runs. Then I was moved to 2nds (alone) and had to work on the instruments to get things to run correctly, using the motto "it don't get more broke than broke". That's how I became the "instrument expert". Now they are going to move me to method development, alone. All that in 6 years. That's the advantage of working at a small plant that is part of a big international company.

Well for me being a lab rat is my dream. I'm still working on my degree as of the moment. I am a working student but I never let any hindrance get on my way. It's a bit expensive for someone like me to go for a full load that's why it's taking me long to complete my degree. Once I finish college I will be a true blue lab rat.
