最近下大雪,所以沒有回實驗室。
收到琪妹兩封電郵,又向我大吐苦水,老細又要佢加班,但是一o黎冇人幫,二o黎又唔係佢既project,三o黎又要好似幼稚園咁教人地,完全當佢o既時間表係透明。
琪妹既情況,在我讀博士的六年生涯中,都算是可歌可泣。你可能認為,沒有什麼大不了。佢梗係廢柴,先至被老細啄。
琪妹是我認識的人當中,最能幹又最沒有架子,有求必應的。但是當老細知道她打算讀法律之後,便變本加厲的向她過份要求,事事挑剔,令琪妹不勝其煩。對其他飯桶學生/博士後/助理,卻捧到天上去,或處處維護。令人髮指。
老板既態度係,如果你畢業後,選擇科學研究以外的工作,而她又認為你有能力繼續做科學研究的話,你就是將靈魂賣了給魔鬼。就算你是打算去非洲做義工,她仍然會認為你是癡線,完全沒有想到人各有志。這還罷了,她可以自此以後當你隱形,或將你搾乾淨盡。琪妹以經不是第一個受害者。
又有甚麼可以做呢,我們已經嘗試過向她直接坦白,換來的卻是冷戰多日,自以為是。拿到了研究經費,便以為自己的行政策略沒有問題。
老細這種態度,已經慢慢張揚開去,很快便沒有學生願意找她當導師, 到時有錢又有屁用。
令人吃驚的是,像我老細的博士導師,大有人在。所以搵博士導師,真係要眉精眼企!

搵博士後o既經驗(1)
講開博士後,不如略略講下我點搵同點揀博士後。
第一件另我有少少驚奇既事,係差唔多所有既PI都有邀請我去interview。我申請既差唔多都係大粒佬。個個都係我呢行數一數二既大人物。我當時有D玩野,諗住試下冇壞,唔得咪唔得。點知個個一個禮拜內就有回覆。我心諗,乜佢地原來咁得閒ga。
所以,我認為申請博士後可以大膽D。冇乜所謂。最好係整個表,好似中一派位咁,DB,喇渣,華仁,英華,先email頭四個,唔得,再下四個,餘此類推。一次唔好email太多, 頂嚨四個, 以免攪到你要同十個人say no。咁人地好冇癮架。搞到你好似運桔咁,就唔好啦。
下次再傾下點去推銷自己。

你攪邊科架?
我相信第一個問題你會問係:你研究D乜架。你讀左幾耐架。你第時諗住做乜架咁。o係度就一次性咁答覆啦。小弟乃第五年博士生。分子生物學。係楓葉國東部(好能凍呀陰公)。好快(希望啦)就會去大英帝國讀博士後。現在多數時間在寫畢業論文。一面寫一面諗番以前D野,寫到悶悶地咪寫下blog囉。
This second blog of mine is about science stuff, and basic science research, and how ridiculous it can be, as you can tell from the title! What the hell does that mean! But people actually use those words when they talk about science.
So yeah, most of the entries are about me ranting. But I do hope, at the same time, it may be useful for other people who are interested in basic science research to have a taste of what it is really like. And yes, it is very opinionated...it is my blog afterall, if you don't like it you can leave it and look at say porn. hahaha.
Also, some of my entries will be in cantonese...for those of you don't understand that, well you can use google translator and you will get the gist of it. I just find it easier sometimes to write in my first language (also, more swear words, haha) and I can at the same time reduce the chance of people ratting me out when I am bad mouthing them. hahaha.
Finally, if you find grammar mistakes and the like, please tell me so. Me speak eengelesh veli bad. Me stupid and slow. Haha.
That's it for now.
