Lab Assistant Poll

[joh]

Hi everyone,
Thanks to everyone who took part in the poll about whether you were a lab assistant by choice.

I was surprised. I thought that like me most people were sent to science. I was an office casual for many years, but when the opportunity came up to be permanent I applied for a few jobs - one of them being science. That was the job I got offered.

That was nearly 6 years ago. I must admit it's a very interesting job and the faculty is a very helpful and friendly one and that's why I stuck it out for so long.

Everyone who uses chemtalk seems to be really enthusiastic about science - I'm not - to me it's just a job. So I have decided to put in for a transfer for an office job.

I think chemtalk is a wonderful concept.
Everyone keep up the good work


Bye for now
Joh.

That's a shame you don't share the enthusiasm for our place of work. I'm the opposite. I'm a printer by trade and continue to work as a programmer/document controller in Sydney and have done so for 9 years while also working in schools - THAT's boring but the money is rather good. Started in Science prep 13 years ago - was asked to go to print room/office and was bored out of my mind but I stuck with it and then this came up! I loved it all through studying at school and my day here is so varied and interesting I couldn't possibly not enjoy it! If I see another bus pass application or a letter from a parent I'll scream!!!!!!

Shame to loss you Jo-Anne, but I wish you the best of luck, in all you do.

Joh,
hope that you get your transfer soon. Pity to see you go though.
Maybe you'll end up missing it and come back?
