This week was supposed to be my big independence week. The hope was that I would be running PCR plates from start to finish on my own by the end of the week.
Unfortunately my friend and co-worker Tony has had a rather serious medical problem and is in the hospital.
That has changed by an order of magnitude the amount of free time I have to devote to cross-training.
I did actually run my own PCR plates twice this week and that feels a little like a miracle at this point.
I feel the upcoming vacations of all the many QC folks that are going to China in late October and early November looming over me like a tidal wave.
In other news my robots are all having personal meltdowns this week....
its not even a full moon.
My job right now is kicking robots and scurrying about trying to fill in big shoes.
I am stressed.
The good news is that Tony is OK and they will be letting him out of the hospital maybe as early as this weekend.
The other good new is that when I ran things they went well.
The bad news is I am just not ready to take over for anyone at this point and I am not sure that I will get enough time to practice before I am given that job.
