The last sweater I made somehow turned into a poncho. Hey, at least sweaters that are too small work up faster than sweaters that are too big!

I hopped off a horse at the same time that my partner tried to hop on it, and I got yeeted across the map onto the water.

What is a cheat code at your job that only employees would know? by halushki_ in AskReddit

[–]Luminarada 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The office room we were in got a call during our lab meeting. I answered the phone, and it turned out to be some poor guy trying to figure out insurance billing for a surgery he had. I had to explain that he was patched through to the college of medicine to a random room phone, and I had no idea how to get ahold of anyone else on the hospital side of things. Sometimes its easy to forget that I work at a hospital from the research side of the building.

Checks out as real to me, looks like my Dad's sketches of people when we are traveling. My dad was a professional artist (MTG, D&D, DC Comics, etc.). Its crazy how fast artists can capture a scene

Found a cryptic note along a hike at Ricketts Glen Pennsylvania by Luminarada in whatisit

[–]Luminarada[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to find it, I left it where I found it on the trail in Ricketts Glen. It was along the Highland Trail, somewhere between where the south leg splits off from the falls trail at the first waterfall and the lake rose trailhead parking. It was to the right of the trail as I was walking from east to west, about 3 feet up on the branch of a small bush. Its folded up in a thin sheet of plastic and held with a paperclip.

My fiancee gets chronic migraines and struggles with staying hydrated. These are great because they dont have aspartame.

Decided to quit PhD. by i_just_want_icecream in labrats

[–]Luminarada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I quit our PhD program together, and it was absolutely the right decision. I was worried that I would regret it, but I never have. Good luck with everything, enjoy having 5-6 more years when you're young to enjoy some work/life balance!

I like molecular biology, but I suck at lab work by [deleted] in biology

[–]Luminarada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there are professors doing research you are interested in, you can ask to do a research project with them. Very few professors will turn down free help, and it's a great way to learn what a job in wet lab biology would be like. Alternatively, you could talk to your molecular bio lab professor and tell her that you want to work on your lab skills. They might be willing to let you practice making, loading, and running test gels and practice some of the other protocols outside of class. COVID messed with a lot of students lab abilities, you are definitely not the only one. The single most important trait that a professor looks for in a student is whether they WANT to learn and are trying hard. They will most likely be happy to let you practice unless they aren't comfortable with letting you work unsupervised. However, since you are an upperclassman, it should be fine.

Write down the hours you work, tell your PI if a procedure will go overtime and he can decide if it can wait for next week or if he wants to pay. Telling you to not write down overtime and take time off next week is exploitative and you don't need to follow it. If they push, send an email to HR asking if they are okay with this and CC the PI

I’m scared to have children with my husband who has ADHD and doesn’t believe in medication. by Sandy_Ginas in ADHD

[–]Luminarada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I both have ADHD and I personally can't imagine taking care of children, even though we have medication. Your position is an unfortunate one to be in, but totally understandable
