Laid off again

Sep 27, 2010 15:36

SHIT.
SHIT SHIT SHIT.

FUCK!!

The lab I work for is broke. HOW we got broke is probably due to the PI being a total fucking idiot, but that's not important right now. What is important is that my job is terminated. He can't pay me. He can't pay our interns, our grad students or the other technicians.

I'm laid off.... AGAIN!!! I get fucking laid off ( Read more... )

I want to reply, so you don't think I skipped over this entry, but the best I can come with is "Oh. Well, Fuck." So I am thinking of you, and what a sucky situation this is, but I have nothing useful to contribute to the conversation. Hang in there.

Thanks for replying.
"Well, fuck" is probably the most accurate answer anyone could give!

I also don't have anything useful to say. I'll see about organizing a trip to come visit - or meet at some half-way point.
But I wanted to ask, why are the toilets in England weird?

For a country that's had running water for a while and no shortage of rainfall, they seem to be really stingy about water in bathrooms.
First off, there's no water in the toilet bowl. I was told this, but I didn't realize HOW little there was. It seemed... kind of gross to me.
I couldn't get ANY toilet to flush completely. Public toilets always seemed to be broken and wouldn't flush, and private ones seemed to only flush half way. It made me angry and embarassed. Like was there a trick or password to get the damn thing to flush? Where do I type in the code?!
Showers were always piddly little streams of luke warm water. In the hotel, in people's homes, everywhere. It's like... they don't have a water heater or something... just a hamster in a wheel, pumping hamster-warmed water around the house.
However, my acne cleared up like magic while we were away. I only broke out again when I took a shower at home. I wonder why.

Huh. Interesting. I'd never heard about any of that. I guess living on an island, you have to be careful about your water supply? Even if it rains like crazy? Thanks for sharing! I appreciate it. :-)
I guess it must be some chemicals in the water at your house that make you break out. *shrug*
