    I'm with Bleeker...

    You have to assert yourself. I am like you, i hate all that stuff. But if you want to be part, you must TAKE part. You must get into the guy's face, don't let him keep his back to you, and GET their attention.

    You do have some choices. Good luck.

    yeah, you are all right. I honestly didn't quite realize what was going on when we switched seats... then it was too late... I know: excuses. Well, I figured it was good to get to know the wives too... until they started talking about potty training

    As far as being seen as a technician. I thought the MS would overcome that, but alas, it has not. In terms of the current company; I am sure they realize I judge them on their not - quite - ethical decisions. They keep me around for political reasons, and I'm grateful at the moment. As far as the new company - it is ethical *phew*, and they actually respect me as an expert of I wouldn't be there.

    I think getting to the three other partners well is a good idea (two of them and I are already friends - I think the third is irritated to have to split the pot another way). I also think that as I become more comfortable with them, they may see me more as someone with whom to discuss business.

    As to staying out of lab gossip: I totally feel you! I have been accused of being a bad team player due to trying to stay out of the gossip and the drama. It's funny (and comforting) that we have all had similar experiences.
