Shhhhh.....

Telling me that you were trashed this weekend with your parents does not increase my somewhat iffy-opinion of you.  Sitting here during our hour-long incubation time, laughing out loud (literally) at every text, new face book message and e-mail really does nothing for my opinion either, especially when you decide to tell me what the who the person is, what the person said, the back story behind the comment and  why it is funny.....  Nor does the discussion on you and your boyfriend.  Really, I understand that this is the first time you have worked in a "real" lab- but I am not here to entertain.  I am not here just for you.  I do need to get other things done in the lab today--besides baby-sitting you the whole time.  Running over to my iPod every time you hear a good song to see who sings it while in the middle of weighing something or pippetting some solutions (which, in all honesty, need to be somewhat precise) pushes my opinion in the opposite way.  It is now nearly 4:00 and I have gotten nothing of my own stuff done.  Grrrr....
