jainaDear fellow grad student in my lab,
When I ask you what a certain chemical is, and whether we have any in lab, I want you to give me an answer, and then STOP TALKING. Just STOP. YES, I know how to make a 1M stock solution of a chemical. YES, I know how to make a buffer. I am not interested in any of your little pearls of wisdom. Guess what? I've been working in labs for five years, and I KNOW THIS STUFF. You are not impressing me with your vast knowledge of lab protocols. I just want an answer and then I want you to leave me alone so I can make my buffer in peace. You see how I'm ignoring you now and reading my email? That means you should STOP talking to me. JUST. SHUT. UP.
Thank you,
