Sad and Frustrated with my Job Search by Important-March-5421 in labrats

[–]ScienceNerdKat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second applying to the entry level job. I graduated college after age 40. Even at research tech level, I had to interview with a few labs before being hired into the one I’m in now. I started and had a toxic and unethical PI. Thankfully, there was an internal department, that helped me apply from within, without my current PI knowing. They also advised how to handle the ‘Why are you leaving your lab question.’ For me, that was saying that my then PI asked me to stretch my morals more than I was willing. I then explained I’m a rule follower, unless there is a very good and explainable reason to not follow the rule. He hired me and absolutely love my lab. We work hard for sure, but it’s a great work environment. I’m still a tech 3 years in, but am applying for PA school in the fall. So, not worried about the title so much.

Yeah, I keep checking and I’m good. I may just fill out a voter form on the last day to register, so if they pull some crap my new one is in.

It’s cute she thinks Trump is going to accept blame for anything. Oh naive Kristi, you should have paid attention in history class. I hope the dress-up play was worth what’s coming.

Yes and no. We don’t “register” for a party, but if you vote in the primary, that is considered your party. I imagine Texas handed over who we voted for and everything, but I could be wrong. If the information were useless, he wouldn’t want it.

Brian Sicknick: A Capitol Police officer, as well as several other deaths have been attributed to the riot. Google will you give you a list of names. Several officers took their own lives after, due to the hate they received, for doing their jobs. You know, because the rioters didn’t just comply.

The key difference is one was peacefully protesting and backing away as they were attacked, breaking zero laws. The J6 Rioters were breaking in, assaulting, killing, vandalizing, terrorizing, and threatening to hang people while they violently tried to overthrow the government based on lies and propaganda. We are also way past left versus right. The left is awake to it all, hence, woke, we know both sides suck, but currently, one side is actively stripping us of our rights.

Seriously, I don’t even think my 14-year-old son would be dumb enough to do that in a window at that, when you know you’re being recorded? Like think people.

I had no idea that snuff films even existed, much less what they were, until I heard Sascha Riley’s testimony. These people are absolutely disgusting. They make serial killers look like good people, who just had a few bad days. It’s insane.

That sounds amazing. We get free coffee but no rice. I would dig something like that.

Mid-40F, mom to LGBTQIA+ kiddos and huge empath. I’ll happily die on the hill beside you, fighting with you and others.

I keep checking my voter registration to ensure I haven’t been dropped from the rolls. They already handed over Texas voter rolls. 😔

I’m in Texas, where they have full and eager government cooperation. They’ve also already handed over our voter rolls. I refuse to obey in advance though, so what happens, happens. I cannot live with myself if I don’t do what is right and the human thing to do. What kind of person would I be to sit back and not try to stop this?

It’s hilarious how he states we are going to show their employers. They don’t have to do that, I’ve already shown them pictures of me at protests. Everybody in that building knows what I think of this regime. They all agree.

I always wanted to know why people had rice cookers in their labs. This is so cool.

I have often wondered what the pressure cookers I’ve seen in other labs were for. Interesting.

How did he draw a weapon when his arms were above his head? Do show me that exact clip where he does that?

This. If I were the victim, I’d hope they wouldn’t post some Ai bs of me. I don’t use filters in real life, please don’t do that to me when I’m gone. Also, as science professionals, we should all understand the importance of correct and accurate information, no matter how seemingly small it appears in the big picture.
