My new job rocks

In essence I either have to sit in my office or in a lab where I freeze, cut, embed and stain neural tissue with trippy fluorescent dyes  I even get to discuss my ideas with teh supervisor and she said she likes so we are trying out some novel approaches in the foreseeable future 
I didn't quit my other, utterly shitty job though. I have only sunday to myself this week so shits gonna get bussy 
I'd take some pics of my workplace but I'm a bit sketched out that someone might recognise them Would google retrieve these pics if I've put spoilers?

Congrats man. Some times I wish I persued a career in science. Love biology. But at the same time, I just wasnt dedicated enough to my study.
As for pics, Im not sure. Google finds everything and keeps.

I'm kind of paranoid to even mention what I do for work. Highly doubt employers will find out though.

Good luck. I didn't care for doing all sorts of immunohistochemistry.
Slide under microscope --> green filter---> red filter, reconstitute in photoshop, count, repeat. It really sucked at times.

I'll be third year next year and this is only for the summer. Payment is not awesome but its good nonetheless. Its something new that I haven't done in uni practicals so adds up to my experience vault.

My hobby is to take microscope pics and fuck with them digitally (I've added a couple of sections of my own ). I was trying to convince my supervisor to do some more molecular biology and so far I convinced her on a new protocol for some RT-PCR stuff that didn't work.

I hear ya man. My professor wants me to start a new research vein this summer, but I just got done with a hellish week topped off with spending 24 hours in the lab with no sleep! All I want to do now is smoke weed and play some video games. But tomorrow morning I got start digging through papers. Ah well, that is the life we choose.

Although my new job is pretty sweet I'm starting to REALLY hate my old job. I just had my worst shift ever and Im glad I managed to keep my shit together.
First I was 30mins late because we had to go to some castle wedding event and this girl was driving us there. She was friggin retarded, constantly screaming behind the wheel, got us lost several times, her car stalled 2 times on the motorway and we almost got killed 
Then this other cunt drove me mad. In the end I was so pissed of that I started throwing kitchen stuff in the bin, breaking glasses and cups, and doing the opposite to what she tells me or not listen at all. Fucking castle wedding shit Im not going there again
  I HATE IT SOOOO MUCH
