I love what I do. I like doing biological experiments on the lab bench... Being on the cutting edge of scientific research and disease that could help millions of people one day...
But my ambition is completely stiffiled (sp?). My Principal Investigator is NOT a micromanager... Nice guy, but NEVER gives direction. Which means I find my own. And when you don't have direction at my level, you are left floundering for years... And the whole nature of my business is publish or perish...
And PI is a whole lot better than the past maniacs that I worked for... They caused me to have a "seizure disorder"--which could be a panic attack because in scientific research most things do not work at all!!! So, why is it MY FAULT that I cannot read the mind of Nature (or God)??? So I get blamed for not doing the correct experiments...
But now, I have NO EXPERIMENTS going on and I am left wondering what the HAYLE am I gonna do because I am truly unhappy...
It leaves me thinking was I better off with those stressful tasks slave masters rather than a nice guy that pays me much more than those other (insert colorful language here)???
