i changed labs. everything new, everything different, everything scary and everything exciting. the first few days/weeks in a new lab are always extremely tiring (at least to me). new faces, new customs, new techniques, new subject, new rules, finding out where everything is located. trying to do the first small experiments, trying to remember everything in the first go, feeling stupid when having to ask again where something is stored.... then there is also the paperwork part... my employee number stayed the same as i remain at the same university, but since its at another hospital, everything else has to be done again, checked again, filled out again. but mostly im excited and cant wait to be well into a project of myself, and where i am set up to work there as if i never did anything else before...!
above a picture of Don; he delivers all the labstuff at my old building. always friendly, always in a good mood, and when there were packages for "my" lab, he always let me sign for them.. :) his cart always piled up with boxes far too high; me often asking whether they wont fall off. but hey, sure not, as he said himself; "im good at what i do :D !!"

fun lovin' criminals....
Good luck at your new place :-) I have always worked in an office and the hardest part for me was dealing with the same people every day. My husband has a job where he gets to switch it up and work with different people and that's what I'd like. Unless the office people were really cool so it wasn't a drain to work with them every day, but I haven't encountered that so far. Don looks cool, wouldn't mind him delivering my packages every day.
shannon, thanks! office work is something i cannot imagine at all. sitting the entire day... well, i did some long sitting sessions while writing my thesis, but other than that, im happy to be able to do experiments. i think it might be the coolest but also weirdest job ever, being paid for just trying things, for figuring out things by just doing them. cannot really explain it (crappy english of mine, buuuhhh!).
yup, Don is really cool, and cheerful! while sooo many people in old lab where/seemed so grumpy and never said anything, he was always talking. dont know about deliveries here yet...
