PI came over to my house to discuss this mornings mishap of denatured protein over coffee. It's pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of our budget and just a lot of paperwork to the higher ups, emails to S-A, maybe see if Pfizer has pharmaceutical connections that can also produce the protein because HPLC failed according to the intern and senior researcher. Instead of a level headed conversation, he's more pissed than I am in any of my posts yelling and screaming on the phone at the lab staff and myself trying to have a peepee measuring contest of knowledge.
Took me over 5 minutes to get him out of my property and I don't think he was even drunk. Get the frick out of my house, never return and do all the work yourself. I somehow care even less.

No you're not. You post to this site bitching about favors you do for others all the time but I never see you actually stopping. People keep pushing their work onto you because you let yourself be a pushover.
Part of you is frustrated and genuinely wants to retire but it's not happening. If you actually did that you wouldn't be able to sneed about your job or about how all your coworkers suck anymore. A huge part (maybe the only important part) of your identity will vanish into thin air

Post retirement I've only done a few favors most of which are connected to this job.
I'd be fine fricking off to non existence within my field but never want to leave the field with a black mark on my record.
