I ' ll have you know that just because I ' m into my little pony , it doesn ' t stop my fedora from making me look . <| sep |> Had a PI tell me to measure X sample that we had discussed the day before . I went into the lab to do that , but couldn ' t find the sample . I spent a couple hours scouring all my drawers and benches , every stray other room , etc . looking for it , while my PI occasionally popped her head in to check in on me . Finally I went to tell her that I couldn ' t measure the sample because I couldn ' t find it . She pulls out her keys and tells me to follow her to one of the side rooms , where she unlocks a filing cabinet and pulls out my sample . Apparently she didn ' t like that I had left it out on the bench overnight , so she hid it from me and then told me to look for it to teach me a lesson . Oh and then she refused to write me a letter of recommendation .
