Bad move...bad, bad move.

the problem with proving that you can do things, is that people then expect you to do things.

I walked into this internship and spent the first day shadowing a guy around a lab, learning where things were, learned a little bit about how corporate protocol differs from academic...etc. The second day he offers to show me how to run a western. I have a brain lapse and say "I know how to do that", I then make the mistake of proving that not only do i know how to do it, but I can do it 25% faster than the current method they are using.

I walk in this morning and the boss man says "we have six month back-log of westerns that need to be run. here is where all the samples are. Boy, this is going to be a productive summer."

why oh why do i have to be so damn good at everything i do?
