Existential Angst OR I'm plain pissed off today, and this is just a RANT!

Now that I have finished making my presentation for tomorrow, I can rant with a clean conscience:

1). If you must give a talk, atleast pretend to be enthusiastic about your work. If you sound bored, imagine the rest of us poor souls.

2). Actin and myosin are involved in axonal retraction. Big deal. I'm not shocked/surprised!

3). Chinese people in my lab: Its plain rude to talk in Chinese all the time when there is someone around who does not understand the language.

4). Chinese people in Science: Don't bitch about your supervisors making you work too hard. You don't have a life. You don't make an attempt to have one. You enjoy rotting in the lab on sunny weekends. You choose to do it. So don't blame it on the advisors.

Oh...and its not abnormal to NOT work an occasional weekend. Yep. Really. Try it sometime. Its called relaxing. And if you ever did it, you might be less uptight and nicer people on normal workdays.

5). Chinese people in general: Your food smells. And not in a good way either.
Yes. Very Non-PC of me , I know. But if you had to put up with the 45 minutes of whining that I had to today...you would have tossed PCness into the trash as well.

6). Speaking of food..I am never making Baingan Bharta again! Its a source of unnecessary tension between roomates who otherwise get along fine. Na banega Baingan ka Bharta, na bajegi bansuri!

This is turning out to be a very angsty week! And just last week I was informed that my posts had a "joyful ring" to them. Yeah, right!
