Grad Life

I thought I'd talk a bit about my life in the grad office. I know it's probably not my best choice to blog out my frustrations where the people I'm frustrated with can read them, unless of course what I say in print I would be willing to say to their face.

Basically, there a few people I think are really great people, and I like them a lot. Then there are definitely 2 people I can't stand at this point. Kill this morning was a combination of those as well. It's frustrating to be treated like a child and yelled at by a professional peer when I didn't do anything wrong. This is beyond a simple misunderstanding because it was treated as more than that. Approach a person with animosity and don't expect them to be your friend long. Approach someone who bailed your project out all summer long and you're not likely to get a smile out of me again unless you trip and fall on your face. And to top that one out, I was doing exactly what every other better-trained worker than myself had been doing and continued doing after you tried to be an ass and make and example of me.

This frustration also goes toward the person who thought they needed to call and interrogate me last night about their assumption that turned out to be falsely based on greed and poor life choices. It was cool when you were trying to be adult and address your concerns and rectify your misunderstandings. But when you turned it into a session of asking the same question multiple times and trash-talking other people who used to appear important to you, it was way out of hand. Move on, get over yourself and try to find meaningful relationships among the ones who still treat you with respect, such as what I've tried to show you.

On that happy note. I've gotta head out to work and study for Biochem. If you want a happier blog entry, go to the one immediately chronologically prior to this.
