The Rant Thread...

Coworkers making stupid decisions; when they result in something going wrong, trying to pawn off their stupidity on someone else

Machinery

Spent the last 3 days trying to get my LC machine up and working to analyse samples- was getting an impure peak on my samples Monday so i scrapped my washes, made them from scratch again, hoping that would eliminate the problem. Nope- yesterday same old rubbish results. The lads who know the machine well advised me to make all new washes, new column, new sample solvent, new standards etc etc to eliminate any impurites. Did that today, came in at 6am to do it and then tried a sample- same problem.
So i logged a call with the expert and after a brief look he suggested that my "basic preparation" may not have been correct. And me having 4 yrs experience doing it. After i insisted that my prep was sound he thinks now it could be a dirty PH probe, which by the way are invisible so theres no way i can know if its dirty. A whole week nearly gone and not one sample run. the batches are piling up but with only one machine im at its mercy.
Tomorrow im making one more attempt to make a fresh sample and if it fails im putting my foot through every single part of the machine until my blood pressure returns to safe levels.

A machine which is designed to save time and money has just cost a week of working and the in-house "expert" blames the analyst every single time. f*ck the lot of them.

That sounds irritating. Does the machinery work already?

My rant is small comparing to this, but the cottage cheese cracked in my bad. Not a pleasant thing to have inside now

I could just leave it and switch the bag but then I don't want to think what would come to live in this one...

Sorry to hear that, Fran. Get some sleep and take some of that special juice with you. You'll be bright as rain by tomorrow.

People were so rude at work today. I don't understand why so many folks believe it's acceptable to treat restaurant employees with such disdain. I'm glad next week is my last week.
