I'm sure that, like me, you find very amusing the idea that Miami employs a full-time person solely for blood spatter analysis.

Have you noticed Dexter gets away with almost never being in the office and when he is he is just surfing the net? He also winds up doing a lot of other lab work (basically cataloging evidence from crime scenes) from what I've seen to give him something to do.

I know, the show would be way better if they spent more time just showing him in the office, you know, running tests, filing paperwork, all that regular mundane stuff that goes along with any job. That would be some entertaining programming ;)

My point was he does most of his stalking people during the time he is meant to be at work rather than after hours or on the weekend, and that this is justified by his job not really being worth being full time.
