okay, so, uh, this is a co-worker related rant, don't assume this is connected to any of you.

Look, I realise that I am new... I've been here for less than two full months, but I'm not stupid, and I sure as hell can learn the things you teach me. So stop treating me like I'm a moron. I am so fucking sick of being told the same instructions twelve times; if I didn't get them the first couple of times, I'd ask for a repeat.

Oh, and in addition to that, I know, you're both men, but that doesn't mean that the fact that I have breasts and a uterus makes me incapable of lifting things or doing random tasks. I'm at least a head taller than one of you, and my arms aren't exactly muscle-free, give me a chance to do things on my own now and then. If I find myself in over my head, I'll ask for help, I'm not dumb. Oh, plus, that move today, with the push cart... I'm not five and trying to push the shopping cart into peoples' heels at the grocery store, I'm twenty three, and if I can't push a stupid fucking wheely-cart on my own, I have bigger problems than simply that, you don't need to help me. So, unless I break both arms and hobble a leg, or the damn thing is weighted with something like 400lbs of material, let me push the stupid cart on my own.

Let's see, what else can I say? You leave me in the lurch with respect to instructions, you directly contradict yourselves when you do give me instructions, and you don't take the time to actually listen to what I have to say half the time. I know, you both can't speak English all that well, but if you give me a chance to hear you (aka don't mumble your instructions), why wouldn't I be able to understand you? And why, therefore, wouldn't I be able to do what you ask me to do? What gives? if I'm capable enough to run a rather vital sugar/starch analysis on my own, why the fuck can't I pour water into plant pots?

I am sick and tired of feeling like I'm left out, ignored and pushed aside. And I'm tired of feeling like you think I'm too stupid to comprehend simple things. I mean, come on, I've been working in the lab for over a month, how could I possibly not have passed the WHMIS test? Do you really think I'm that incapable?

I hate to say it, but some days I dread working with you. I build up a rather large pile of negative energy and feel like hurting things after spending the day in the same place as you. Maybe we should schedule our duties so that we're hardly ever together, but I can't see that as working since you're theoretically my superiors at the moment, and I have to wait for your instructions to do things. so, I don't know. I think you need to smarten the fuck up, and stop treating me like a three year old.

Dimitri and Co. did that last summer. they said they had fun.

Hey Ed

I would love to join, sounds like fun. When does the actually season start though??

Actually... just let me know if you are interested... I could care less if you are iterested.

Hey folks... registration for Summer League Ultimate Frisbee is opening up in April. It's $25 per person, and $650 per team. When I played it worked out to $75 (It depends on how many people we can get onto a team). It's a mixed (as in guys and girls) league, so if you, or someone you know is iterested - let me know and we'll see if we can pull this off.

kay most times i get friends requests from Myspace from bands they totally fucking suck

oh i have no doubt you can do it - i'm not losing money on that shit. if this guy can

you can

i'd be more interested in seeing like Simon go 5 days gorging or like 5 days of Clarky not taking a shit.

yeah, Paras... I was thinking the same thing about how the body is pretty good at changing its metabolism and adapting to food supply. For that reason I'm thinking I'm gonna "ease my way in". I'm gonna slowly reduce how much I eat in the week prior to fasting. I mean, I'll eat enough to be healthy, but I'm not gonna over-eat like I typically tend to do. I think just going "cold-turkey" will be too much of a shock to my system. But if it gets used to having somewhat less food around, I think I will be better adapted to the challenge.

Anyway... I think Clarky is gonna witness the whole deal and he'll keep you guys updated as to whether or not I've been cheating. As for when he's not around, you'll just have to take my word for it I'm afraid. I'll be honest though, I promise.

Wha? I leave this message board, get stuck in snow, get some help from some good samritain and get out, go to work, come back and now Tay is talking about fasting?! Were is my segue (sic?)?!! Well Tay I think your fasting is probally doable. Wager ? no thanks, only suckers bet.

Now, I need to call on the magical skills of all you bio geeks out there. All two and a half of you. I'm doing an assignment and I need to know what the advantage is for the cell of having importins which are specific to only certain cargo. In this case, I'm looking at an importin that binds specifically with ribosomal binding proteins. Any ideas?
