Which means, being the cool, young prof makes me very popular (or so I like to think!) The department doesn&#8217;t have me take any lectures or assign work to students, so no one hates me yet. I spend most of my day talking students through their work, their lab experiments or any other questions they may have. The general purpose trouble-shooter, thats me.<\/p>\n<p>The main mandate of my job though is to take care of the department&#8217;s intstrumentation needs. Currently, this means I have to co-ordinate the negotiations and purchases of a million different things since we have just received a sizable grant. This part is not fun, except when I get to ask the college to issue huge sums of money! \ud83d\ude09 But once all the instruments are ordered and delivered and installed, it means I have so many toys to play with! Yay!<\/p>\n<p>The worst bit of my day is the commute. I spend anything from 45 to 90 minutes travelling one way to work. But this can&#8217;t be helped, Bombay is that kind of a city. I&#8217;m still working out a good routine which will help me minimise this travel time. Of course, I can&#8217;t really fix that since I haven&#8217;t yet found a place of my own to stay and am still living with relatives.<\/p>\n<p>\/me pokes everyone reading&#8230; Hey!
