I hate science! It sucks! Things never work out like they are supposed to. And in the off chance they do, they never repeat themselves. At least that's how it works for me. I have the touch of King Midas' forgotten twin brother, whose touch turned everything to dirt. I want to quit and get a job working construction, where I can show up, get my check, and go home to forget it all until the next day. I will never recommend that anyone be the first PhD student for a new faculty member because all you well do is spend the first three years testing protocols, trying to show proof of concept only to realize that you have no data and less than one year left to do an entire dissertation...oh yeah and still no proof of concept. #%?!
