Welcome to the dark side

Good day to you all, today I would like to talk about communication, a basic and primal quality in all living things, it is the key to reaching an understanding, when a level of agreement is reached based on that understanding goals are achieved and progress is made and so life evolves, new horizons dawn and civilizations raised over the foundations structured and enforced by this new found understandings.

There are many examples of communication in nature all around us, just look at how a beehive functions, depending on each and every individual bee to play its part in every day hive activities. Ants are another good example of such a structured community with loyalties to the colony and their spices of ant. I myself keep an ant farm and let me tell you it is very nice to watch! It’s made out of some nutrient gel material so we can see the ants tunneling and storing food and even farming, yeas ants do display activates that resemble farming as they sometimes feed on fungi , thus creating caverns and providing them with the right temperature and humidity for the fungi to grow!

It is truly sad to see that most humans do suffer from communication problems, if ants and all other living things got it straight I guess this proves you don’t need the full mass of a human brain to get it right, yet it is amazing how some people really don’t know how to pull it off.

I have experienced this laity with my boss, a work place kinda resembles a colony, a system where we all play a part in keeping it running smoothly, but I guess we just had a communication problem, long story short , we had a meeting , in this meeting I have explained that I have been assigned to a position that does not fit my expertise, she said that I was a scientist (microbiology , specifically a mycologist) and that I have wonders capabilities and that I would be an asset to the department, so I have to do this job ( work in a zoology lab looking at zooplankton), to simplify the matter, this is like asking a physicist to do a biologists job, I have explained to her that I have never worked on zooplankton or studied them in university or my diploma of higher education, my field was microbiology of extreme environments working with bacteria, viruses and especially fungi. In all my papers and work I have never touched upon zooplankton , if I wanted to then I should have been a zoologist, and the job description clearly stated that there is a microbiology lab in the department , so what the hell am I doing in the zooplankton lab ? the answer to that question was, you have a wealth of knowledge your C.V show substantial amount of work and dedication I think you can lead this lab to taxonomical studies in zooplankton!

Well it was obvious I was not getting anywhere and that this boat was sinking, because in my C.V I stated all the projects and experiments I have undertaken and all of them where on land and in hostile environment dealing with fungi mostly and some bacteriological and viral work.

I have tried one last time to explained that this is not my filed of expertise and that I’m in no man’s land, she said don’t worry you’ll be fine! , is this a joke, for the love of god it felt so wrong, I felt underappreciated, all this years of hard work for nothing , well I’m not certainly using any of the knowledge I have in this bloody filed, I might as well work as a garbage man or a janitor  (with all due respect to both professions) I’m just trying to say that you don’t need to be a rocket scantest to work in a gas station as the guy who pumps the fuel, even the methods used in the damn lab are nor recognized universally as scientifically precise , it’s a joke, this is monkey business, in my evaluation it is a waste of time and a disgrace to the country, the boss did not even know what the hell do her employees do in that lab!

Anyway, that’s what happened and now I’m just stuck in this hell hole! This brings to mind something I read on a fridge magnet “we don’t believe in miracles we depend on them”
