今天我遇到坏人了

Wish I was joking. Ha ha.

What a sucky day.

Today is The Day. The day on which I had planned to finish evaporating my sample, running it through the column and doing external calibration. I had prepared my stuff for so long, and had come to school EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN day of the recess week. I'd planned to finish everything today so I don't freakin have to go to school again.

Of course things don't go so smoothly for me.

I'd secured the booking of all the instruments I need. BUT phD student S needs to use the balance today. Even though she had booked it on Tue and Thur. So after some negotiation (like I have any choice) I agreed to let her use it in the afternoon while I'm running the column. She'd messaged me thanks, and I'd replied no problem, though in my mind I was thinking, you gave me so many problems.

The main thing is, I had booked the flame and graphite AAS in the afternoon and evening slots. Yah, I was even prepared to stay till night. BUT S started using the graphite in the afternoon, and when I asked her about it, she said her run would only end at 8pm, and suggested that I run my samples tomorrow. I gave her the okay face, but inside I was thinking WHAT THE FUCK! (Yes, I swear a lot inside) Freakin asshole, do you not understand what it means to book something? It means that person needs it. What's the point of having a booking system when you don't stick to it? I was seriously damn pissed.

So I need to go back to school tomorrow. Yah. And I'd already prepared my standards, and I need to leave them and my sample overnight, which seriously affects the accuracy of my results. If I need to redo the whole damn thing again because of that stupid bitch... it's just disgusting.

And squeezing onto crowded trains and buses did not help improve my sucky mood.

  2. Wah...
    I wonder what I will do if I am in your situation. Although we are meagre undergraduates, we have our goals and targets too...
    It's kind of obvious that she knows she'll end at 8 p.m., and should have at least told you earlier or offer to "stop" (even though she has no intention too). The next time if she wants to negotiate whatever with you again, must be firm!
    We undergrads are no pushover! And I have also learnt not to be nice to people who didnt book NMR slots and still rushed me to finish quickly.
