rf_ucsd Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidIntel Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf_ucsd Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 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.

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."

rf_ucsd Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soleil Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I get claustrophobic if I stay indoors to long. People interaction.. hmm.. don't get too much of that while I work. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soleil Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hahaha... Yeah, good times. I just post when there's some down time at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf_ucsd Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 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."

soleil Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 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.

rf_ucsd Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 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.

soleil Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf_ucsd Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 She's from San Diego. We don't like seasons, let alone winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
