Having to work with selfish idiots drive me crazy!!!
Argh!!! I need to punch something!!!
I've come to realise that one of the PhD students (and this miserable group has only 2) in my current lab is super selfish. He doesn't want to teach you stuff, he gives excuses and tries to push it off when you ask him to show you something, is very defensive ('Why do you need to do this?' 'How come you're also doing this?' - in Mandarin of cos' since his English is so cmi!) when you ask about the techniques or animal model in his project because you also need to use it in your project.
I have been waiting the whole afternoon for him to show me perfusion in a mouse. Even though the boss had also asked him to show it to me, he had been just happily sitting at the computer, ignoring my requests (multiple times I asked him today). And I am on a time crunch because I'd planned to bring my tissue samples afterwards to the other lab (and also in general, since I have to be finished by the end of April). *sigh*
I can't help but regret that I chose to stay here. Am so unhappy. And in comparison, when I go to the other lab (where I could have been if I had made the right choice), I feel so much better. The PhD students there are much much more knowledgeable, helpful and nice.
*Haiz* I take back what I said in the earlier post. Today's not better. I can't wait for this (thesis) to be finished. :(
