Working in a restaurant as my "first" job... kinda. It's hard, but ya know, when you need "plat", gotta work ; )

The thing i hate though is you know when you start but not when you finish. Sometimes i can do 6 hours, sometimes 12.

Haha naw. Samples i work with are usually non-infectious like cancer tissue or just the run-o-the-mill pathogens. The scary stuff is sent to the state before it reaches my lab...usually...

Other than that, any transgenic microbes i make are non-pathogenic and nutrient-specific dependent, so they cant escape the lab. So no super bugs, but i can make them glow! lol

I did a thing once involving getting E-coli to produce GFP, that was pretty cool.

Loads of safety stuff when working with that crap tho

Yeah, Its super fascinating stuff! My standard work attire includes a lab coat, gloves, glasses and a fume hood for safety. The funny thing is, all this 'safety'  is used to protect the sample from contamination as much as it is to protect me from infection haha

And I thought that having to wear long sleeve shirts and pants for my job sucked

I worK for a broadcast TV station (the kind you receive with an antenna) in the SW Oklahoma area.

My main duties include editing video for newscasts, running teleprompter and other stuff to make a newscast. We use Premiere CS5 for now, but will be switching to EDIUS 7 soon.

 

I don't really see it as a job.  I see it as I get paid to sit in front of a computer.  Plus the weekends are a bit slow for me so I spend it playing Warframe.

(My company really doesn't care what I do, as long as I do my job first.)

 

Love my job. :D
