#And this bitch still hasn’t bothered to learn what a hydrogen bond is

Went to a workshop on how to write the literature rescue for my thesis and now my stress levels are through the roof. I already feel so behind.

We had a useless year phd student who has done, as far as I can tell, absolutely nothing for the last two years while also constantly increasing my workload by skipping out on her own admin commitments and dealing group meetings. As a result I’ve had to spend the last two months (where I should have been at home recording from covid) at work doing including and training for four new masters students and one new PhD student because it turns out she literally does not know anything about our field. She could not show an undergrad first year how to use our software to do an entry level task. She cannot answer questions like “what are you studying and how are you studying it?”

I’m very tired and I feel extremely behind because I’ve been doing this shit instead of my PhD, and I’m only just now starting to figure out exactly how much I should have already been doing.

I hate her and I’m so fucking glad she quit. Enjoy failing your second year milestone because you decided to spend two years fucking around and ignoring every single piece of actionable feedback we gave you.
