I've never been in the mood to write a log. Unlike before, when I had plenty of time to let my mind wander, now every day after work I go home, and after eating, I just want to sleep. At the end of August, the Dean talked to me, wanting to transfer me from the undergraduate teaching lab to his lab for management. Although he said he would take my opinion into account, in fact, I could only choose to agree. I reported to the school on September 1st, reported to the lab on September 3rd, and officially started work on September 4th. As for the content of my job, it's hard to explain, laboratory management? I took over part of the work of a previous colleague. Ordering medicines for the lab, repairing instruments if they break down, all sorts of messy little things fall within my job scope. When I'm idle, I'm bored out of my mind, but when I'm busy, I'm running around like crazy. Coming to the materials chemistry lab, I'm not familiar with the drugs and instruments, and the situation is completely different from the lab where I did my graduate studies. There are more toxic, flammable and explosive drugs, gas cylinders are often used, and the lab instruments are all high-temperature reaction furnaces of several hundred degrees Celsius. Moreover, the atmosphere in the entire lab is somewhat lacking in unity, each student doesn't have much responsibility, which is related to the fact that there used to be students living in the lab who were specifically responsible for the lab's water and electricity safety, locking the door at night, etc. Although the Dean has a high level of academic achievement, he never emphasizes responsibility to the students. As long as results can be produced, any mistakes can be forgiven. This really makes me uncomfortable. On my first day of work, the boss didn't formally introduce me to the other students in the lab. I gradually got to know and become familiar with each student through my work. They also slowly accepted the arrival of this new young "teacher" who is the same age as them. The boss is very busy, and he's also getting old, so he basically never comes to the lab. If there's something, he calls people to his house to talk. So, until now, I haven't even seen the boss's face. Many people envy me for this job. In fact, coming to the Dean's lab has added a lot of uncertainty to what might have been a pretty good job. Being transferred from a position in the department to an unofficial position in a private lab involves many issues regarding future job placement and title evaluation. These days, I've been troubled by this. No one wants to be in the same position three years later without any change, or rather, without even the possibility of change, then the risk of being kicked out is greater. My predecessor told me a lot about the boss. She also mentioned choosing the best time to have children in the future for the benefit of one's work. Also, next week I will ask the boss for wedding leave. Although the legal late marriage leave is 17 days and the National Day holiday is 8 days, taking two weeks off already counts as the boss being lenient~. This workplace of the school is different from other types of enterprises, but it still possesses all the elements of any workplace: interpersonal relationships, interests, etc. After working for more than ten days, I'm gradually getting familiar with the job. New problems are also slowly emerging. There's a small worry. Let's wait and see how things develop before commenting!
