I have one article and its article review due next week. I have one huge article to read for tomorrow's class, another one for tomorrow's journal club, and then this morning I received an email from the PI who'll be teaching the next module (looks like I get to learn all about macular degeneration, what fun) (translation: loss of eye sight), and attached to the email is one article and the list for two books that I'm supposed to read for Thursday and Friday. Not page numbers in the books, nor chapters, just the books.
Now, I don't know about you, but even when I have nothing else to do but read (see: two weeks in the middle of summer) I still average about a book every three days. And I take a break in between the books to do other stuff. Two is beyond me. Especially at the same time. And I've been told that I read fairly fast so I have no idea what that PI's after, since I'm fairly sure that it's an improbable demand and I'm left wondering if I should even attempt to get my hands on those books because, com'on, each module lasts a week and a day at the most, and spending a hundred dollars on books that you'll not have time to read, that you will probably never read again afterwards seems kind of silly.
Those crazy crazy PIs. I wonder how the infectious diseases people are dealing with our size 11, single-spaced papers that they've asked us to write.

The lab building is mostly empty. It's strange.

So I was frowning at this post and then I got to the "Crazy PIs" label and started laughing instead :D
