So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | All alone. [EDITED] Friday, September 28, 2007 @ 8:02 am And couldn't be happier. My boss is out of town until Tuesday, which means that for today and Monday, I get to run the lab by myself without supervision. Which I guess isn't too much of a change, since he's been busy working on grant proposals and publications recently so he hasn't really been in the lab all that much. But still, this means he won't be coming around giving me extra stuff to do when it looks like I'm not busy... which is quite frequently because I am just that efficient (well, most of the time). I work so much better when I'm by myself. I think I get nervous just having someone in the room with me because I feel like everything has to be done absolutely perfectly so as to not be criticized for doing something in a certain way (especially when the way I'm doing something is still correct, but different from what the other person is used to). And the pressure inevitably leads me to fuck up in some small way. It's something I need to work on, but the truth will always be that I am much more comfortable working alone than with someone else there. Of course, his absence means that I can get in later and leave earlier than usual. It also means I will feel alright taking a longer-than-usual lunch. In essence, today I will be able to enjoy all the free time that I would have by being so efficient in lab. Thrilled? Yes. Fucking ecstatic. EDIT: Completely unrelated to the entry, but this craigslist ad is preeeetty creeeepy. 3 Comments. More freedom is fun if you can handle it... which, unfortunately, I usually can't. :P That ad is.... scary. And for some reason when I read it I thought of Bill Gates. :P » randomjunk on 2007-09-28 06:34:22 I like working by myself, too. My advisor is going to be in Moscow all next week (holla!) Unfortunately that won't be a huge change because I never see him anyway anymore because I'm so busy with classes. Still, just knowing he's not there will make me more relaxed. And the ad--- SO creepy. Daughter with benefits? Poor phrasing there, man. » Zanzibar on 2007-09-29 07:22:54 B'WHA???!! That ad is beyond creepy -- that ad is a thousand levels of ick multiplied by infinity and crossbred with a hairless yak. I need to take a Silkwood style shower now. Bleh. And good on you for... not having your boss around and stuff. I think we all can agree that it's easier working without someone breathing down your neck all the time. Plus, extra free-time equals teh WIN! » Noacat on 2007-09-29 05:01:39
