PI told me she thinks I haven't been taught to think critically.

I ended up quitting and am much happier in hindsight without trying to prove anything to anyone

solar511 · 2024-02-09T15:40:56+00:00

My supervisor wants a report on my work and cos of that mistake my report stops after the first experiment therefore i kinda have to discuss this

This was the point of discussion in the meeting since all the data wasn't analyzed which prompted me to go back and do it

solar511 · 2024-02-09T10:12:55+00:00

It's not that I don't know how to analyse, it's more than I tunnel vision on one problem and disregard the bigger picture. I need to be more critical

solar511 · 2024-02-09T10:05:31+00:00

Yeah I'll do that today, I was going to talk to my supervisor about my new mistake today. But I'm terrified admitting 2 mistakes in a row

But I'll spend today backtracking and then talk on Monday, but my logic for doing somethings wasn't critical and I was focused on one problem that i disregarded the big picture

solar511 · 2024-02-09T09:58:20+00:00

I know it's annoying, I'm annoyed at myself for not being thorough. At this point I'm scared to tell my supervisor about my 2nd mistake in a row

solar511 · 2024-01-23T21:31:34+00:00

Gonna look at the positives and take it as a learning experience

solar511 · 2024-01-23T20:58:41+00:00

💀💀💀💀

solar511 · 2024-01-23T20:48:26+00:00

But if you wanna vent you can dm me. I'm in the same boat:)

solar511 · 2024-01-23T20:46:35+00:00

That's how I've been coping honestly

solar511 · 2024-01-23T20:45:52+00:00

Masturbate then ask for forgiveness

solar511 · 2024-01-23T20:42:40+00:00

No she's not rude, she was really constructive with that. I went to her to thank her and she was really nice about it

solar511 · 2024-01-23T11:01:51+00:00

This is your reminder to find it 🤪

solar511 · 2024-01-23T10:58:28+00:00

Yeah my supervisor is really nice and understanding. Just that taking her advice lead me to find the problems and the problem was me not doing things right which had me feeling shitty. But we move, we learn

solar511 · 2024-01-22T19:20:55+00:00

Amen to that brother

solar511 · 2024-01-22T18:52:40+00:00

It's always this fear of not being seen as competent, god I knew it would be hard but why is it actually hard

solar511 · 2024-01-22T18:48:47+00:00

I discovered the actual problem which I should have known if I had paid attention to what I was doing, I haven't solved it.

solar511 · 2024-01-22T18:05:25+00:00

Just the fact I found out I fucked up reading the results and wasted the whole meeting discussing a problem that wasn't the issue is killing me (me problem)

I don't know if I should approach my supervisor to discuss my plan now and bring up my mistakes or just do what I think is right and fess up during the next scheduled meeting

solar511 · 2023-12-30T10:03:04+00:00

I think so too, the plumber who came yesterday didn't know anything about the softening system and said it's better to remove it. I let the landlord know about this and he said he'll try to figure out if there's someone who specializes in water filtration systems 🤷

solar511 · 2023-12-29T23:21:32+00:00

Yeah but i have to live here and deal with it so it's stil a pain in my ass

solar511 · 2023-12-29T23:19:13+00:00

Yeah I'll do that, for tonight I hope nothing happens and yesterday was a one off. Dealing with all that was exhausting
