Jobs?
I had my meeting with Dr. Barth today. After going over there at 9:30 am, he wasn't here. I really wasn't expecting him to be, but I was really planning on a nap this afternoon. Yes, I do schedule naps. :P I left him a message with the secretaries, and I decided to go ahead and e-mail him the same message when I returned home. I started baking a quiche and checked my e-mail. Dr. Barth said he would be in until 4:30 pm. I sent him an e-mail back explaining that I had just put my lunch in the oven, and I would be over at approximately 2 pm. He has this thing where he just kind of disappears, so I wanted to make sure he was going to be there.
I got to meet with him. I thought that he was the one who dished out the jobs. Apparently, I was wrong. He gave me the names of two professors that had immediate openings in their lab. One job is in the hydrology lab taking samples of water ponds in the area, and the other job is in the geochemistry lab. I just simply cannot escape chemistry no matter how I look at it.
I came home and e-mailed both professors inquiring about the jobs. At this point, I'm really not going to be picky, but the more I thought about it, the less I want to be gallavanting around asshole deep in snow obtaining water samples.
The geochem professor e-mailed me back and referred me to the lab director. I went ahead and sent her an e-mail telling her I was interested in working in the lab, but I needed to know the time schedule I would have to deal with. I really don't want to be stuck in a lab more than 20 hours a week at this point, and honestly, that's kind of pushing it. Nonetheless, I need a job so I can have some kind of spending money.
If/When I get one of these jobs, first paycheck goes to my car; the second goes to my tattoo.
Edit: I was looking at the biogeochem website. There are already two pieces of equipment I already know how to use. The only thing I worry about is them actually expecting me to remember one iota of chemistry from almost 10 years ago. I haven't had a chem. class since my sophomore year in high school. I learn fast, at least.
