Hi everyone,

Hope your year is going well so far.

Thanks.

Radioactive decay? Sounds more like tooth decay!
We do the M&M's too, but we never get any leftovers

Goodness gracious me, how do you keep up?
We're 2 full-time, with 4 labs, 2 prep rooms.

Hopefully next year they'll employ an assistant for you???? Good luck!

What happens if you get sick and need time off?

That's fantastic news, thanks guys!

Wouldn't it be wonderful for the authorities to come up with templates s...

Thanks for your replies, I guess I should start looking out for something now...

Hi Everyone, My temp contract will come to an end at the end of this year, as the person I filled in for will be returning after long leave. I remember reading in another post about how useful it would be if there were lab techies available on a casual basis, eg. to cover for sick leave, study leave...

Thanks Dime, much appreciated.

For example, our Head of Science wants us to compile SOP's for making up acid solutions, or toxic chemical solutions etc. I look forward to you...
