There's a new guy in my lab, he has an MD, coming back to get his MS (I don't know why, but watching him do surgery scares the living daylights out of me).

I am in the lab right now, during the weekend, trying to get some lab work and homework done so I can shake my sexy rear at Latin dance night tonight. I'm playing some music just a bit louder than a whisper since I normally can't do that during the work days.

In he comes, and starts to play chess on the other computer. That's all he does I swear to god. Every time I see him on the computer, he's playing chess. And he asks me to turn off the music because he can't concentrate. EXCUSE ME? I'm doing work. He shouldn't even be here. He lives pretty far from here - he should go to a goddamn computer lab. Then he whips out a book and starts to read it ... RIGHT BEHIND ME. What the FUCK? Hello, I don't know about India, but here we have a thing called GIVE ME SOME SPACE. The lab is pretty big, go sit in the other goddamn corner.

What else pisses me off.
1) He plays chess online on the lab computer. All day, everyday. There's work to be done in the lab, and he's usually hiding somewhere, playing chess.

2) Inconsiderate to lab rats: he left a rat here with NO FOOD OR WATER from 8am ->6pm. I got back in the lab to check up on things after the job fair, and the rat wasn't looking very good. I went ballistic and called him at home. I suspect that he -forgot- he had a rat to work with today.

3) He brings in this other guy who has nothing to do with our lab to use our computers. If he were a visiting guest I would understand. However, this other guy is in our department, he has a computer elsewhere. USE IT.

4) He gravitates to any computer when he gets a chance. Once I was in the middle of running some data and made a bathroom run. I come back a couplea minutes later and he's on my computer. He has his own computer across the goddamn hall. I tell him "Hey, I'm in the middle of a data run, I need to use the computer. Can you do this elsewhere?" And he was like "give me a few minutes" USE YOUR DESIGNATED COMPUTER! I have also come back to my computer to find it crashed and I had to mess w/ files that got screwed up.

5) My name is not "hey" nor is it "i have a problem" and it's not "a minute please?" I'm usually absorbed in some analysis, and have a bloody hard time responding to anything other than my name. So next time, if the rat is spurting blood because you did something stupid, say my name beeyotch ... and no, don't touch me with a bloody glove.

AAAAARRRRGGHH AAAAAAARRRRRGGGH! *runs around in circles*

Never argue with and idiot...he may be doing the same thing

I try not to take the "Don't do that, you inbred moron of a mother fucker" approach, but I have expressed my displeasure many times. No, I didn't kick his jewelry bag.

I couldn't care less about how he does. He has his MD. He should have half a moldy, drippy dingleberry of an idea of how to do surgery - especially if he interned under a plastic surgeon.

At least my roomies are nice ...

simultaneity is not absolute. So just because you think i'm wrong, from my frame of reference i'm right!

So a very pissed off me was teaching him and another person how to make these little gadgets. The other guy actually tried to understand. The moron started playing with another piece of equipment, pushing buttons here and there ... then sauntered off to a computer.

I definitely raised hell this morning. If anyone wants to help me chuck him into a body of water (or etc), come visit me and we can have a party.

When 1337 hax0rs start impaling each other with swords and typing code with a hook on one hand, then they can modify the term "pirate."

As for supervision, I can't watch him all the time. Hell, he's older than I am. I've only been here for a year, and I wasn't designated as his in-lab supervisor.
