Today was training day one and I spent the whole day learning how to use balances (the kind you use to weigh stuff). It was quite interesting I must say (the theory and rationale of doing things) and we're (I and my new colleague who also just came in) going to pick up more complicated equipment and testing methods soon.
Came to realize more and more that working hours in my lab IS going to be very fast paced and packed. There will be a lot of moving around too - we are doing testing in various different labs and are not sticking at one place all the time. This kind of routine work with a bit of time-juggling here and there is what I like. :D Also there is going to be A LOT of documentation, but I love documentation. My problem is that my motor skills somehow, till now, are a little less refined. In other words - I'm a bit clumsy especially when holding delicate stuff. :S
Still I survived 4 years in NUS labs without coming near to damaging anything or causing spillages/accidents. I hope that track record lasts.
It's fun being at work (for the time being) but when I come home I do feel tired. Going to sleep now :)
