    I'd do forensics BUT.. it is chemistry dept based and hubbys BIL works there as a tech an d I loathe every fibre of his sleazy body with more than every fibre of mine!

    You wouldn't have much contact with him, though, surely? And I always found the techs kept out of the way as much as possible...and you are so going to outshine him when he is still a lowly lab tech (I've done that job...so I DO know what I'm talking about) and you have your degree and your fab career. Don't let a slimeball put you off.

    pigpen this is exactly what I was going to say to you earlier but didnt because I wasnt sure what the set up was in the labs - now valli has confirmed it - you wont have that much contact with him and I know you will be quite capable of putting said @rsewipe back in the sewer should he raise his head! Why let the moron deprive you of doing something you would like to do - you cant let him win like that - dont let him spoil your life anymore - go do what YOU want to do and to hell with him!!! be strong -
