When I first joined the lab, I did not hear too many good things about JG.
“Did you know he transferred from another lab that he had worked for 2 years before?!”
“JG is a messy person; he always screws his experiments!”
“Look at JG, he’s here with us for 3 years, he’s not even half way to his 4 years doctoral degree yet!”
And then there were one senior person in the lab in particular who kept telling me how incompatible JG was.
I just listened and didn’t believe those remarks all. I didn’t have much work association with JG. But other than that, I find him a fun person to joke around at work, a generous and helpful chap in general too.
I am so glad that I did not join in contributing negative remarks about JG. He had his mid-point degree examination yesterday and it was excellent. It was the best I have ever attended. He knew his own work inside out and answered all the questions by his thesis committee brilliantly!
JG may not be the best student in our group. But he certainly is not what was described from those rumors. Shouldn't we all already realize that rumors seldom hold any truth?! One thing that deserves to mention here is I think JG kind of knew all those rumors going around, but he never care a damn and just worked on his own pace. Yeah, you can say what you want; I don't care! Yep, he proved them all wrong at last!
Now I’m really going to blame on JG. He set such a high standard for the exam; no one wants to be the next one from our lab to do this exam! Oh heck, I just found out that I will be the next one scheduled in the queue for this exam. Damn, there’ll be no games except work, work and work for the next 3 months until that big day! How scary! :(
