isozyme | gonna strangle a bitch

my lab nemesis is making the name thing an issue

it's a damn good thing that i spent half of last week having a gender breakdown and got it all out of my system because if i hadn't this motherfucker's health would be in danger

this morning i got the daily "hey [name]" when he came in, and i was like "yo fyi it's AJ"

and then in the ensuing conversation was the most fun, including hits such as "it'll take me a while to remember that" and "oh yeah [beloved undergrad] told me last week that you preferred to be called AJ and apparently i completely ignored him because now we're having this conversation were you're trying desperately to be chill and i'm being defensive and garbage"

so this evening i got the world's most exaggerated and shitty "evening, AJ"

i hate this man. so much.

also this dude randomly makes trumpet noises. with his mouth. in public. toot-de-toot it's the battle hymn of the republic at full trumpet volume, today, literally today, while i was working! at our unconscious bias training last month his straight-white-male ass tried to say that he was discriminated against because his research topic isn't well-represented in the subfield. he uses a photo background on his powerpoint slides. words cannot express.
