Ok, so, this is pretty simple. Pay attention to what you're doing, what you're handling, how you're moving. Just... be aware of your surroundings. And keep all eyes up. Simple shit.
My fucking ADHD picked the wrong moment to flare up, & I zigged when I should have zagged. Trainer was there to help clean up the mess, & nothing exploded. We marked it down in the log sheets, she had a bit of a laugh out of it bc "Honestly, I didn't think it was possible to do that", & we went to lunch so I could get some caffeine in me.
Bc the only thing beating my brain into submission these days is obscene amounts of caffeine & sarcasm.
The good news is, the other lab techs I met like me, & I'm having the time of my life, even if I'm a bit sore.
Lemme tell you, tho, this shit is, hands down, better than retail. I haven't set foot in that building since I walked out, almost a week ago. Gonna try to go for as long as possible w/o going inside there, just bc if I do, I'll say something to the store manager, & probably get arrested.
TLDR: just read the memes.

While I don't exactly miss the lab, I do miss the grab-assery waiting on things to cook.

Oh, there's plenty of grab-assery going on, but mostly the verbal kind. Had one girl ask me if I intentionally grabbed the wrong scrubs.>>

I had to laugh, bc she looked so confused, & told her "bit my fault I was gifted w/ more ass than intelligence."

If you're not on enough caffeine to be vibrating... are you REALLY working in a STEM field?

6 shots of espresso at 7am. I walked in at 120BPM on my FitBit. My boss looked at me, & took the red bull out of my hand.

How did you go from retail to lab work?

Yeah. Kinda took a flying leap into the void, & had a friend of mine convince my Dumbo ass that I could fly if I held onto a feather.
hoopsnek
Awesome.

Also, wow, you're like... a god on this site. Hi. Pardon me while I fangirl just a tad.
hoopsnek
Thank you. That’s very kind.

Flying didn't work out so good for her.
