January 25, 200422 yr Author Hmm lemme think.. I say you should call up some friends because it sounds like you had a long day and could use a night out. :) So true. Up until an hour or two ago, I hadn't actually spoken a work all day. I think I could use some interaction ... ... well, REAL interaction.
January 25, 200422 yr Author As opposed to the fake kind? :lol: :huh: Not fake. Virtual. See how much nicer (e.g., PC) that is.
January 25, 200422 yr What's wrong with pjs! It's 9:12 and I'm still in mine. :stunned: *feels the laziness*
January 25, 200422 yr As opposed to the fake kind? :lol: :huh: Not fake. Virtual. See how much nicer (e.g., PC) that is. Yeah I know what you mean :cool: Well get on that phone and appelez vos amis!...as they say in France. ;)
January 25, 200422 yr So true. Up until an hour or two ago, I hadn't actually spoken a work all day. I think I could use some interaction ... Just talk to yourself, works for me.
January 25, 200422 yr Author i couldnt handle working in the house Sometimes it is too weird. When I'm working hard on projects I won't leave my apartment for days at a time. You feel like you're losing touch with the world. And since I've gotten to where I communicate with friends and family primarily though email and IM, I go days without talking to anybody. It's very strange to think about. Sometimes I wonder about prehistoric times, when the world was kind of like this for everybody. Hunters would travel for days looking for food for their families. Whlie out they probably wouldn't see another human. They'd just see tons of different animals. I need some pets, I guess. So I can hunt them.
January 25, 200422 yr Author So true. Up until an hour or two ago, I hadn't actually spoken a work all day. I think I could use some interaction ... Just talk to yourself, works for me. Reminds me of the Great Tortouise from The Neverending Story. "It'd been so long since we talked to anybody that we just started toalking to ourselves."
January 25, 200422 yr Author ** goes to put the Neverending Story on ** "Turn around ... Look at what you seeeee - eeeee- eeee- eee ..."

I'm going to ask if they'd like to come over and watch the aforementioned movie.
January 25, 200422 yr Author The title of this thread ... "A Saturday Working" ... ... reminds me of the Belle and Sebastien song "A Summer Wasting." Wow. That was such as good album.

You feel like you're losing touch with the world. And since I've gotten to where I communicate with friends and family primarily though email and IM, I go days without talking to anybody. :stunned: I could never take this. There comes a time when I have to get out. I'm am not an indoors type of person. Maybe I could go days w/o talking with anyone, but I must see the outside world.

There comes a time when I have to get out. I'm am not an indoors type of person. Maybe I could go days w/o talking with anyone, but I must see the outside world. My apartment has tons of windows, all of which look out onto the busy streets of downtown San Diego. I see tons of people ... ... I just don't interact with them. And that's the problem: I get the minimal amount of interaction necessary. I just don't get any participation.
January 25, 200422 yr I get claustrophobic if I stay indoors to long. People interaction.. hmm.. don't get too much of that while I work. :/
January 25, 200422 yr Nope. Because I'm always at a freakin' lab bench staring at tubes all day long.
January 25, 200422 yr Author I guess it was just that one day ... New Years Eve when you were in lab and your sister and I were chastizing you for posting while at work.
January 25, 200422 yr Author Yeah, me too. I have really lax hours, though. In fact, in my official just description it says "Supervisors should not be concerned with the amount of time worked; rather, supervisors should assign an amount of work consistent with the position."
January 25, 200422 yr That's awesome. The only good thing about my job is that I don't have defined hours. So if I feel like strolling in at ~ 10 am it's ok as long as I get my work done. And I can leave as late as I want. Except I usually don't because it's not a very nice area.
January 25, 200422 yr Author One of my friends is thinking of doing her surgical residency at Northwestern. There was a rather detailed debate as to the virtues of the greater Chicago area. I could contribute nothing, but weather came up a lot, as did crime. I dunno. Chicago seems good enough to me.
January 25, 200422 yr It's good. I don't think crime is really that bad an issue. It's just around where I work that it's kind of bad. Northwestern Hospital is downtown, though. So I don't think she'd have to worry. And she can choose were she wants to live. I think Evanston is a nice place. Weather, eh, but the summers make up for the winters.
