Dear new lab person who shares my office,
I am really glad you joined the lab. You seem smart, funny and motivated and I really love your accent. However, it would be totally awesome if you could just sometimes, like once a day, ask someone else in the lab for help. I know for a fact that they know where all the media, tubes, glassware and equipment is located and I think they will at least point you in the general direction. And pretty please, with sugar on top, stop lingering behind me when I am working at the bench. This does not make me work faster, not to mention it is distracting me and making me less-inclined to want to help you. Maybe I am just weird, but I really don't like it.
Sincerely,
MXX

Ugh, I hate having people watch me work. I instantly start making completely ridiculous mistakes, like dropping things or mis-spelling my own name.
I don't get the only asking one person for help thing either. I always say that the most important thing to do in a new job is to find out who to ask for what - but now I'll be adding "and try not to piss anyone off in the process" to my rule!
Gotta say it to his face dude...
Cath - LOL. I really don't mind fielding the majority of questions, but damn, when I am holding a pipeteman in front of an open flame, I might be busy.
TL - Said it to the face this week. I just couldn't take it anymore.
