Scientist are lame.
It seems like the scientists I work with at my warehouse job are very lame. Most of them are weird. The worst part is they are arrogant. It must be true that they know the best way to do everything, they are scientists and I am only a lowly student employee.
On Thursday I was out digging a hole to put a pole in with a scientist. This guy is a knucklehead. Not that he is a bad guy or anything, just inexperienced. Rather than hiring an excavator to dig it with a backhoe, he chose to go to Albuquerque and rent a jackhammer. So we jackhammered at this very rocky soil and dug it out with a shovel. Total time: approximately 5 hours of hard work.
On Friday this scientist got quikrete and all that goes with it so we can mix and pour 10 cu. ft. Now that, I don't mind. However, he came up with an elaborate plan that involved mixing concrete in one spot that going around supports in a circle to the other side of the hole and dumping. I tried to get through that we should mix and push the wheelbarrow straight to the hole and dump. He didn't understand and got nervous that I was questioning his authority so he said his plan again louder. Silly. I've mixed and poured a lot of quikrete, at my other real jobs. So we mixed the first batch. I grabbed the wheelbarrow and wheeled it straight to the hole. The scientist seeing the efficiency in my system didn't say anything and just pretended that it was his plan all along and I must have misunderstood.
Scientists are lame. There are more lame ones at my warehouse job. Most of the techs there are pretty cool. More lame scientist stories to come.
