You've gotta be fucking kidding me. So my manager came to have a word with me this morning. Not a big deal, but here it goes.
Most of you are aware of my job. If not, I work help desk and deal with technical issues and password problems. Forget your password? I'll give you a new one.
So when I give out a password I give out the first four letters of my last name and then the date. So, for instance, today the password is "dico0331". Yes, my last name begins in "Dic" and it is pronounced just like you would imagine. But I've grown up with it, so I really don't think much of it.
Well someone complained to my manager. She laughed it off because it is the dumbest thing she's ever heard someone complain about in a while cause the person that complained knew it was my last name. She even knows my aunt, who works for the same company.
I swear, I fucking hate people.
Also, I forgot to mention, but I've been using this password template for nearly 2 1/2 years. So it's not like it's new and offensive.
One time I made a typo and instead of "this ATM" I typed "shit ATM."
My boss pointed it out, but I said that it still kinda works and we laughed a bit.
But that is an insanely stupid thing for someone to complain about.
"This" and "shit" must be common typos, cause I do that a lot. I always catch it before sending it out. I'm sure my manager would laugh about it as well if I did it.
But yeah, very stupid thing to complain about it. It's not like I'm giving out that password to offend people. It just happens to be apart of my last name. Sorry my last name is so offensive to you.
I was serious, I forgot my password.
give me a new one.

So there I am sitting in the lab, painting my nails while I'm waiting for something to stop sonicating. All of a sudden, it hits me: Why is there nail varnish in the lab?
It was not nail varnish. It was incredibly expensive glue of a very well defined refractive index to match to Gallium Nitride. Quite why they packaged it in a nail varnish bottle, I've no idea. Either way, it also doesn't dry like nail varnish.
Goddammit.

I'm gonna write up a complaint about how unhelpful you were in this matter.
also, I find the first four letters of your last name offensive.

Ok wait we have ELM and Mojo in [chat], you guys are (most likely) better at instrumentation then I am.
Ok so when I pipette biological samples, unless you are 100% careful (and have the steadiest hands) anything you pipette in a proteinacous medium (like BSA) or a detergent (like Trizol) gets HELLA bubbly, especially if I am running dilution schemes.
Now I get REALLY bored waiting for all the bubbles to pop, and they are tough enough (and small enough) that I can't pop them.
Do you think you could use either a sonicator to pop the bubbles OR if there isn't one, lets develop a device to do that! You guys could have the bulk of the patent money- i just want it to exist (and maybe make a bit off of it)

i find the little plastic coneshaped test tubes themselves are designed to get rid of bubbles at the lowest level so if you slowly draw them up from the bottom you should get minimal bubbling, otherwise, sometimes i just take the tiny micropippette and start drawing out air and spitting the fluid back into the tube
really not much of a solution but in my experience i've never found it to be that much of a problem either

Gluing optics to GaN to avoid air bubbles and the need for oil and similar bullshit. I don't use it personally. I'm not really sure on the exact details of the project that does, because it's on the successful side of the group. Mojo "The Island" Jojo works alone, on irrelevant topics.

So my boss just told me that the company that bought our personal lines department is going to be taking the scanning and indexing work that I spend half my day doing with them.
I'm not going with them.
I might get laid off! Yessssssssssss!

well you don't use it for its INTENDED purpose
The intended use is just to fix things together without the glue itself causing a change in refractive index. Maybe we need to be the prettiest princesses with our shiny nails.

step 1- get a sonicator
I'm kinda jealous.
I'm glad you made the first step by admitting. Where are you going for therapy?
need to finish my introduction
write a conclusion
references
that is...high
what are you using it for again?
aside from nail polish
so what are you the majority of if you are just kinda jealous?
mostly bored?
mostly content?
mostly hair?
