Enviable position??!! Its a bit scary to me at the moment! Tomorrow I start
a new job in a Reference Lab after working in a routing hospital
microbiology lab for 17 years. I have to switch from plating out leg ulcer
swabs etc to PCR and other R+D work. At the moment I feel I know absolutely
nothing about these "new" techniques but I'm getting there slowly with the
help of websites such as "What the Heck is PCR?" and also from encouragment
and advise from friends in these newsgroups.
To be honest...you are right Jorge... I'm really glad to have this
opportunity as I felt I was just "fossilising" in my old job + the new
techniques were just passing me by. (I will have to remember I said that
when I feel I've taken on too much!)
