Whinging for the sake thereof

[quesarah]

1. I have an assload of work to do, including making reagents for our affiliate out in Frederick, MD because our manufacturing facility can't seem to make a consistent product. I also have to do QC on manufacturing's raw materials to see if I can find the bad seed in the mix. While this isn't terribly time-consuming, it would be better handled by an internal QA/QC group. Which our management doesn't think we need.

2. Bioinformatics Guy said he asked for more data last week, which Frenchie was going to supply. I don't know what the status of this is, but something needs to move forward. BG was expressing doubt as to whether our product is going to meet launch data of 1 March 2005. Unacceptable!!

3. One full week into being my manager, and Furry German has yet to speak to me. Yesterday in lab, I broke the ice by telling him where to look for his lab coat. Ooooh, what a big step that was! He even look startled that I addressed him. Moron. My friend A told me to forward my resume to her, she has friends who are hiring. I'll be sending that out asap.

4. My neck hurts, so I made an appointment with Wonder Chiropractor at 5pm. This means I need to accomplish the bulk of my tasks before 4 pm, when I must leave. This means I need to get my arse off LJ.

5. Oy vey.

Just where did you tell him to look for his lab coat? It didn't involve body cavities did it?

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

No, I was the soul of polite helpfulness.

Maybe if you didn't write "Furry German" on the back of your manager's lab coat and point and laugh all the time, there would be more friendliness?

Just a thought.

Hmmmm interesting point you bring up. What's your opinion of the picture of him I've been using as a dartboard? Should I discontinue that?

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

It depends on how easily visible it is. For example, if it is right by places he frequents so that the real he could easily be mistaken for the dartboard he, then yes, you may wish to reconsider. At least around raise/bonus time.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the great advice! What would I do without you? ;)

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Throw darts at the wrong target, obviously.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Clearly, and what a hopeless situation that would be!

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

What's up with your neck?

[wafflelips.livejournal.com]

Things got out of hand after the last meme.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, gotta watch that torque next time.

[nightxade.livejournal.com]

Oooh did you guys break a nice leather gaming chair too?

*grin*

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Well, we broke something. ;)

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Slept on it wrong, and it's been bugging me for a couple of weeks. Just need a little adjustment.

Surfing this weekend?

I have the pager beastie, but I have arranged to have Saturday until noon off. The boy will be around on Friday evening but we could get together on Saturday morning sometime.

Sunday also works but I have to deal with the pager if it goes off.

I will probably also go on Friday morning, early to avoid traffic, FYI in case there's a surfing related emergency.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Let's try to get out Saturday morning, kay? :D

[among-the-waves.livejournal.com]

OK, let's say 9. I think it would be easiest if you came by my place and then we can rack the boards on one of our cars and head out.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Works for me. Ocean, here we come!

[among-the-waves.livejournal.com]

I noticed a ding in the longboard from when I went out on Wed. I don't think it's a bad ding, but I don't know if I can fix it myself w/o having it look like shit. Since it's not my board I'm going to bring it into a surf shop for a looksee. I'll keep you posted about plans for tomorrow - we may have to share the shorter board or go out Sunday or something. I'll let you know this afternoon when I return.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

All righty, keep me posted.

[among-the-waves.livejournal.com]

Looks like the board will be in the shop for a few days. So we will just have the shorter board between the two of us. I have a good book I can read on the beach while you're surfing so that's cool with me... you can either hang out while I'm surfing or skeedaddle if you drive separately from me.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

So, still on for tomorrow morning?

[among-the-waves.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if you are. :) Stop by around 9 - give me a call or email me if your plans changed.

[biogeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

K I'll call before I come over. I'll drive seperately. Wonder Chiropractor told me to take it easy tomorrow. Ah well.
