But this new female post doc (Dr. G) is getting pretty "interesting". For one, she is starting to get on the nerves of some people. Some examples:
- Today's her third day in school, and her staff card is not ready yet, so she cannot gain access to the main door. In such cases, our typical response is to wait for people to pass by and get in along with them/call the lab phone and get someone to open the door for us. But from what I heard from my student, she knocked on the door profusely, and shouted for Dr. R to open the door. Because he was not at his seat, she continued to knock on the door so loudly that my student went to get the door for her. Instead of thanking the student, she walked directly to her seat, and ignored my student's existence. (Impression marks: -10)
- Dr. G is sharing the cubicle with Dr. R, and though both of them are on good terms (they come from the same lab in HK), one must be considerate to the existence of others. Instead, she turned on the music so very loudly that it is extremely disturbing to many. Even CL who is sitting about 5m away finds it distracting. What can we say about the poor Dr. R...? (Impression marks: -10)
- Maintain silent when she is talking over the phone or else, you will get hushed by her. I was a victim! She was talking over the phone, and Leng Leng and I were standing near to the phone discussing some lab issues. I already tried to talk softly because I am aware some people don't like any noise when they are talking over the phone. But without any warning, she turned around to both of us and hushed us harshly (at least that is what I feel), and continued back to her tele-conversation. For a moment, LL and I were stunned. As in, really stunned. And we have to walk out of the room to continue our conversation. After putting down the phone, she never bothered to apologize. (Impression marks: -20)
Overall impression: 60/100.
I'm going to avoid her at all costs.
