Fear
For probably the first time in my life, believe it or not, I am dreading going to work on Monday. Seriously, knock-down drag-out dread. Biotech hell they call it. CEO coming back from a ‘fundraising’ trip in Europe. We’re all on salary reduction and wondering if/when we will have a next paycheck. So that could be disturbing, but what am I afraid of? He’s been away two weeks and life at work has been almost fun - we’ve been chasing down some very knotty problems in the lab, but the challenge and the task of fitting each new piece of data into the puzzle has been exactly what I was trained for and relish in. But there’s another project I’ve been stagnated on by the lack of funds, but I have a feeling he’s not going to accept that. It is not only lack of funds, but also some of the data and advice is not going in the direction he wants to hear. And he is a man who only hears what he wants to hear. And I am not very good at putting a pretty spin on the truth. Too much of a scientist I guess. Or maybe you could call it ethics. The marketing types seem to have no trouble. Anyway, bottom line is, I can feel the end is near one way or another and it isn’t fun. Either for the whole company, or just for me. Same outcome. guess I’ll go get some sleep. Being unemployed will be just as exhausting as being in this strange, exciting, challenging, educational position has been!
About me
I'll be writing brief newsbits on discoveries, trends, nutrition guidance in the field of health and wellness, along with the occassional political interlude, particularly in relation to environmental protection and historic preservation, as the spirit strikes me. Links and contacts will get you to more information, websites I've found useful and groups or organizations I care about. Thanks for stopping and Enjoy!
