stocks
Gah, what's the point in employing a general dogsbody (a.k.a. scientific officer) if they can't even keep general supplies of gloves topped up. Billy Talentless (he was previously a PhD student and 2 post docs in the same lab group and did naff all research and totally got carried by other talented PhD students working on the same project as him) has finally wangled himself a permanent contract as a SO in the group. His role, as far as I understand it, is to liase with estates for lab/office refurbishments, keep an eye on the general group labs and keep communal stocks (gloves, tips, water, gases) topped up. It's really not a hard job to check the shelves once a week and see what's running low and order in new supplies but stuff is always running out. It wouldn't bug me so much but stuff is always run out when I need to do an experiment and it's not my job to be chasing up people for something as simple as a box of small gloves. I hate him!
