Xi=irritantA normal BP lab day. If I was the boss of BP lab, I would definitely fire myself. With no experience of oil refinery, no idea of ionic liquid and little experience with organic chemistry, I am just the last one for this research group. Apparently, here chemist is pure chemist, electrochemistry is not at the edge, it is just out of range. BP makes me feel I am not a chemist.
I had absolutely no idea of making an ionic liquid. I even dont remember when was the last time I did organic synthesis? Each day, facing my colleague talking about this solvent that compound, my mind just goes blank. My conscience makes me feel guilty, I am doing another PHD, totally from beginning!
Admitting all these, I have to do the job. Leaving self-esteem aside, I must ask and seek for advise. I am aware how silly and stupid is that for each small detail, I need to disturb others. Sometimes, it is hard while there is no experiemental procedure, I am just too afraid to make a decision.
Today, when I was browsing sigma-aldrich chemical company webpage, one compound's hazard code was issued as: Xi. So, there is my name! I was murmuring...Looking into details, X is a cross which indicates danger, and i here means irritant! And then there is E=explosive, C=corrosive, h=harmful...
All right, so I am a hazard.  BP新贵-劳伦近来,BP小组又有新成员加入.劳伦是位非常可爱帅气的法国小伙子, 一双碧蓝的眸子,一脸的天真无邪, 管谁都叫”darling”(当然,男士除外),初来之时,对我们BP的技术员Fiano,连连羡殷勤,嚷嚷上口的喊”my dear princess fiano”, 让人以为他俩有多熟,着实让大家苦笑不得.不过,操着一口地道法试英语的他,常常为这里爱儿兰试英语而痛苦不堪.好比,坐在办公室从不接电话,要是大家多扯几句,讲些笑话,他便尴尬的把嘴扯笑半边,然后极其不自然的左顾右盼,说句实话,在此类状况下,最好的法子便是自动消失 劳伦也有27了,不过,怎么看都像是18岁的男生.常有人夸他年轻,但他居然不乐意,嘟哝着嘴拒绝别人的赞美,大致意思是他自己是成熟的男人!闷,French!话说回来,过去常觉得法国人干事懒散,这可是千错万错了,劳伦对BP实验热情高涨的不得了,重要的是他人十分聪明,让人不由得打心底里羡慕他,27岁的博士后. 上班之余,BP小组的主要活动一是泡巴,二是上健身房.在耳濡目染之下,劳伦也常常往健身房跑,起初他办了张攀岩的会员卡,看来他的灵气还能用在爬墙上!后来有次,他主动提出要和我一起打羽毛球,我颇有顾虑,要知道在caledonian时,我的羽毛球水平是一流的糟,和老外打时,输不是问题,关键是输多少….但心想没事,要是输了,可以拉他去打乒乓,再赢回来.于是,某天两人在健身房较量起谁打球更没水准.几球过后,我惊讶的发现原来这个劳伦一点都不会打球,虽有186cm的身高,可握着个拍子乱无章法的挥,好像在打苍蝇!!又过一会儿,我的注意力更情不自禁的从羽毛球转到了他的身姿上.我又觉得,他那滑动的步伐,和挥洒的手臂,就好似一只天鹅在耍芭蕾 于是,上周五,他问我有没有兴趣去攀岩?由于学校的新建的攀岩设施着实吸引了不少爱好者,而我则是属于满是好奇心的初学者, 当然是不会拒绝的. 到了现场,劳伦在爬墙方面的表现真是让我倒吸一口冷气,活像蜘蛛侠般潇洒自如!他对我解释了一番攀岩的装备,攀岩的一些基本要领和常识,还有如何打结等等…我便懵懵懂懂往上爬,只听的下面法试腔,”only one colour”, 噢,拜托,我长这么大,还是第一次这么垂直行走. 初次体会胜利,我便蠢蠢欲动,完全不顾及自己略有僵硬的身体,将要尝试稍稍有些难度的壁面.于是,爬至一半,我的手臂便疼痛的不行,每移动一步,都困难无比.我发现自己一阵一阵的出汗,好像所有的体力都在不知不觉中耗尽了,往下瞧了下劳伦,.他紧拉绳子,示意我继续往上.我喘口气,硬逼自己,可是我那两手臂已拽不住了,整个人笨拙的帖在墙面上,左右不是.我又往下看,大声嚷道自己不行了.不料,下面法试腔又来了:”you can rest 2 miniutes, and you are going up!” 天呢,I am going to hell!我的手指,手臂已经不听我的指挥了,哪里还能往上!于是,我便被吊在半空中,身体僵硬,那两手臂好似两根柱子叉在我肩膀上,就这样,劳伦死活不让我下地,我又惊又怕又想笑,最后竟泪如泉涌,将自己最后的一些能量消耗至极! 下了地面,我的感觉是我终于做回人了,回家的路上,我发现这样行走多好啊,真是幸福多了! |
