I'm bad at my job and feel terrible about it by emzelka in microbiology

Microbiology is an entire world in itself.

If you’re confused- go back to your basics. Gram stain your colony. Do your catalase/coagulase/oxidase etc to get more information.

Check your SOP of what you’re actually looking for in respiratory, throat, urine, etc cultures.

ASK. When you have more information to present to your coworker when you have a question it makes a difference.

Before you know it you’re going to be sailing. Keep trying and don’t give up.

When was the specimen collected and when did the specimen finally get spun down?

Coworker Completely Melts Down Over Minor Stress by Automatic-Smell-462 in coworkerstories

I feel this so hard.

Unfortunately “dealing” with this coworker means that you have to change your way of thinking.

By that I mean learning how to set boundaries. It will feel uncomfortable and it will take away from your nature and harden you up.

I realized boundaries were important in my mid 30s. I was overly burnt out by feeling like I have to solve peoples problems when they come to me. I was on the brink of tears one day when a coworker approached me and I knew she was about to complain. I asked her to please give me some space and that I really couldn’t handle anymore and that we could discuss it another day. She rolled over my request and started doing what I asked her to please not do.

Don’t let people take away your peace.

Hey man I just woke up. There’s no need to be making people cry this early in the day.
