Nothing like being on narcotics and planning a study for a student. I've got a dental resident coming into work for me the next year and she needed a project. So since we had a student in a couple years ago that got published, we decided to springboard her project off the other student's. As I'm walking into work this morning, all of a sudden I realized the magnitude of the project that we're expecting of her. Nearly 300 plates - which for me, would be a PITA, but a non-issue. For someone who's never done a shred of research, this would be painfully slow. For me, 30 plates/week (which is 4 very busy days for me) is doable for 10 weeks. For a student, 4 plates/week is going to be the norm - and maybe work up to 10. So that means that this project will run anywhere from 30 weeks to 75 weeks. Oh, and since we have space limitations, when she works, I don't since she works at my bench. My hair hurts.

You'll feel better once you get to go home tonite. The narcs help with pain but can make one fuzzy....and not your usual happy self.

Do you think you are going to end up 'helping' some a bunch of the plates Mich? How long is she supposed to be in the lab?

She'll be in the lab 'til Mich kicks her a$$ out, especially if Mich isn't feeling well. Something's gotta give...Mich's hair hurts and the day hasn't even started. Poor Mich.... [BTW-Long or short hair Mich?]

Mich should work half day or stay at home and get better.

She's waiting to find out if she's got a place in next year's residency program. So not really sure how much time she'll have in the lab. She is supposedly going to be here full time, but the problem is that *I* have projects that I need to do as well and they cannot sit on the backburner for her to take 75 weeks (or even 30 weeks) to complete a project.
Sigh.....I can see her doing the first 100 samples, then us doing the stats and realizing that the study doesn't have the power to be significant and needing to go back and complete another 200 - on my head.
This is her project, I'm not going to do it. I'm to teach and direct, and probably to the analysis and write since most clinicians I've dealt with are abysmal at both.
Not on narcotics now, Deb.....the project was planned last Jan, when I was. At the time, it made perfect sense and *would* be a good project for me to do since I work much faster, accurately and effectively. It'll take a student 10x the amount of time to do something that I do and watching them do it is the most frustrating thing in the world. All I want to do is grab the equipment from their hands, push them aside and do it myself. When the impulse gets too bad, I have to walk away for a few minutes.

Already working half days when I have PT. No choice as my PT works only in the morning and I'm wiped after my session. Wed I came home and took a nap after working with her for nearly 2 hours and was hobbling the rest of the day.
I'm ready to get back to work, staying at home is no fun for me as I need my brain to work. The problem is that (1) when I work with students, I cannot do bench work (she's working in my space) and (2) I cannot do writing/analysis (multiple interruptions make it impossible and I'd rather be interrupted than have her f*** up a couple hundred $$ in supplies or irreplacable samples) so it leaves me be totally unproductive.

I hear you. When I was on those relaxers and pain killers I was trying to explain something to one of my students and five minutes into the conversation I said "I don't know what I'm talking about sorry, come back tomorrow"

You need to hold your breath for a few hours and hopefully you'll pass out and I can make an exit.

You're the one holding your own breath. As soon as you're down I'll be stepping over your body and tip toeing out the door. I'll say I'm sorry ahead of time for kicking you a little bit to make sure you are really passed out.

Now why would you be searching ME for money when you have your hand on your wallet. Did you forget what your or any wallet feels like?
