Who supervises your home bench? Pet tax thread.

Strictly nowhere near the workspace, obviously. But who keeps you company on the long documentation days? Post the supervisor.

Mine is a cat who judges my pipetting from a safe, hair-free distance and takes absolutely no responsibility for my coffee count.

Golden retriever, supervises from the doorway, contributes nothing, morale through the roof. Best lab assistant I've ever had and he cannot pipette to save his life.

Cat. Sits on the printout the second it lands. The COA is now warm and very slightly furry, but spiritually it has been blessed.

my supervisor is a betta fish who watches me document with the cold detachment of reviewer 2. no notes. only judgement. respect.

Two cats. One supervises, one sabotages. Standard peer-review setup, honestly.

This is now my favourite thread in Off-Topic and I'm quietly collecting every supervisor into a "staff" page in my heart. Keep them coming 🐾
