Happy Ending
Alas....my last day at work. As much as I wish to say "I am sad to leave, I'll miss work, blah blah blah blah...." I really can't. Why? Because I am ECCSTATIC!!!! This marks the end of another chapter of my life....the the liberation from my lab rat status...and I have once again regained my freedom (before I commit myself into another slave-driving institution of UCSF School of Pharmacy..oh joy). Can't leave work w/o leaving one last blogging post...afterall...it's the boredom and my hatred for work that spawns my creativity of ideas for my blogging posts!
I have grown a lot in the past year working in this hell hole of The Scripps Research Institute: The Schlaepfer's lab. I have also learned a lot. I've grown into this cynical and bitter individual. I have also come to my senses that real world is anything but "peachy". You might despise school, exams, hw, and etc (i'm sure i'll complain, whine, and gripe about it when the time comes)...but seriously...it ain't nothing in comparison to paying bills, responsibilities, and being a sell out. Work and real world can b*tch slap exams and schools to the other side of the room w/ONE finger! You think waking up at 8am for a class that only occurs twice a week is bad?!? try waking up every freak'n morning and try to get to work by 9am and home at 7pm!! the constant alertness you must have while at work (you never know when your boss' spying on you) and the need to "pretend" you're busy can drain the living soul outta ya! Procrastination breeds productivity....it ain't the case w/work...because you're not given the luxury of "procrastination"...you're suppose to be in the constant mode of "production". In school, you have the "popularity" contest....at work...this turns into POWER STRUGGLES! 10x worse than "who has more friends". may the force be with the people at the bottom of the totem pole (i am at the bottom NO MORE!)
w/all that said...here are the 10 things i learned from work...
1) You can't cure cancer (whoever claims that..they're lying!)
2) Paid vacations are perhaps the best concept anyone can come up with
3) What are the different means of accessing Aim without your boss EVER finding out about you chatting at work (anyone knows netscape have built in Aim? *wink*)
4) All the nerdy BAD bio puns (FAK this!!!)
5) How to sleep with your eyes open during 2hrs long lab meetings
6) Coffee is awesome and paychecks are SCHWEEEET!
7) How to waste work resources and boss' money (like now..sitting here...using work's comp...getting paid and NOT doing any work!)
8) Dry ice makes great bombs
9) You can save money by copying text books using the copiers at work!
10) WORK SUX!!!!!
Ending on a good note...paying special tributes to the following individuals/things: Dan, Satya, Trang, Shawn, Roshni, Holly, David Kim, Jared, Datsun, blogspot, xanga, naruto manga, bleach manga, and all the people that chatted w/me on Aim (namely Lin-Duh Cow, Brian Tom, Vinh, Dave...and a lot of others that I didn't mention because I am too darn lazy to type everyone's name down). You guys are the contributors to my still-existing-miniscure sanity. Apologize to you all for my whining and griping...meeting me was the doom of your auditory and (to a certain extent) visual senses. guess u'll just have to LIVE W/IT! hahah.. j/k
with this i leave you....AILEEN OUT!!!!
Simple Pleasures in Life
1) landing of a 10hrs flight
2) A Dr. Pepper that just quenches your thirst like none other
3) Relieving bladder over capacity
4) Sleeping on the beach with the sun shining bright
5) LAST DAY OF WORK!
