I didn'y give any advice, anon english. If you are doing a PhD in biology, physics, chemistry it would be expected from a student to be in the lab from 9-5 every day. On the other hand if you are doing a PhD in social sciences you might be able to work from home several days a week.
How about some flexibility yourself? You seem to think that the department is gonnna give you a PhD for doing just what suits you. You need to do research, that requires you to do whatever it takes to find answers to questions to which no answers have ever been given before. Labs are bound to be part of the work to find those answers. Be more flexible, next you will be moaning that the work is too repetitive, well PhDs are repetitive and in most cases tedious, but thats research for you
