Am trying out LJ for the next month. All posts are friends-locked but otherwise things should be the same.

Something something patience

So while I'm sick, it seems like the PI has decided that rather than publishing what we have now, he'd want the interaction data after all. This is extremely frustrating and not a little confusing. I am baffled and so are the collaborators. My appointment with the office of grad studies for my exiting paperwork is on the 22nd so I'm going to have to explain this situation as that I doubt my PI will let me go until we get the manuscript accepted for publication. The manuscript that hasn't even been sent out yet.  Augh.

Caught something last Sunday and spent this week taking meds and trying to fight it off before finally succumbing to it sometime Thursday night and arrived at work Friday morning only to be ordered by the PI to take care of my cell culture  (which no one else could do except me) and go home. Which probably says something since he's the one who's been pushing me for new data on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this week while knowing I'm running five day long experiments. Still feeling kind of achy and gross this morning, but mostly crushingly disappointed since this is the first October in YEARS where I've arrived at a place where I can enjoy myself and now I'm spending my first weekend nursing a cold. I had PLANS dammit.
