So I finally interviewed with a professor from UCSF. This guy is big time in HIV research. He was very sweet to me. Really nice. He told me that he was not sure he could take me though because he didn't know how long he would be there. He was very nice. The one that was not nice was his post doc. OH MY GOD what an asshole! He told me that I didn't have enough Immunology background. Can you believe this idiot?
Me the woman whose taken 2 immunology classes, is going to take another one next semester and then did research in immunology for 2 and 1/2 years! AND I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BACKGROUND. I told him: I've taken 3 immunology classes and worked in the research field for 3 years I feel very well grounded. Thank YOU!
He kept batting balls at me like if I wasn't going to be able to handle his crap. He told me a bunch of crap but I put them all down. I didn't know that American post docs could be so stupid, unnecessarily cruel and narrow minded. WOW! This one was just as bad as that French post doc I had to deal with once. SIGH.... There's always an asshole. He upset me so much but not in an "Im going to cry" kind of way, more like a I want to snap his balls off and make his mother eat them for breakfast in the morning, while he watches. I was so angry I gave him "The look", The look my mom used on me when I was doing something wrong and she was about to punch me out of my chair. The look every single latina in Washington Heights gives her boyfriend when he is looking at a fine piece of butt. It is the look that lets people know, "YOU have crossed my limit and I am not responsible for wringing your neck for it".
Why did he do it? Everyone keeps asking me that. I think there are 4 possibilities here
1) He saw that I was a girl and he hates the idea of women being successful.
2) He saw that I was not white blonde with blue eyes and he hates that.
3) He got envious that I have so much research experience when he has probrably been doing the same thing all his life.
4) He graduated from UCSF and can't stand the fact that I am from UC Berkeley.
Either way. All of those reasons are so petty it is just disgusting. This guy is just about the same lines of morals as our little Melissa at UC berkeley. Like I said theres always a smelly asshole. I was so pist off after that I got stopped by a cop for running a light. Don't worry I didn't get a ticket. He told me I ran a light and I said: I didn't see a light at all DUDE. I don't know what was he doing giving me a ticket no one else in San Fran obeys traffic laws.
Tomorrow I have to meet with my current PI... Sigh... I have no results.
If I don't get into the lab at UCSF I am going to go to Old-Frows lab. Just because I have an idea for a project. Yeah, I am that depressed. I am suicidal.
