Work Update

I have not mentioned this before, but I am interning at a startup company this summer. Things are so much different compared to the industrial monster I used to intern for. For starters, I can count the total number of employees at this place on my fingers and still have some to pick my nose with. Second, I directly report to the CEO and COO. Of course in such a small place that does not mean much, but it is still cool to say that I report directly to the CEO. So here is the funny part. This company wants me to keep a time sheet. I need to log in every hour I spend on the job and mark it up to one of 7 activity classes. This ladies and gentlemen is the lamest idea ever! They first waste my time creating this sheet and then waste even more encoding this into some system no one is going to look at.

I have been working with QoH to get a major pharma company to sign up with our lab from some research project. A while ago they sent us 48 samples to do a blind study, which was all fine and dandy. Now they want us to use those results to predict some physical quality without any knowledge of the sample what so ever. WTF? This just cannot be done! Do these guys even know what they are talking about? I have an equal probability of picking out this week’s Lotto numbers as I have in predicting the properties. Anyways, I am going to have a lot of fun coming up with weird ass theories to rationalize my opinion and work in some many caveats that you can hold a whole parade in the holes in my theories.

This is going to be a busy and fun week.
