Of Course I Don't Live In My Office! - Amy

It all sounds very sensible to me.

My mother is a sales rep and spends much of her life driving up and down the country. Her car is stocked up with an emergency overnight kit, fruit, water, spare shoes, a change of clothes, baby wipes, make-up, sweets, little rubbish bags, enough CDs to last a fortnight, books, and lots of other things.

I guess things just accumlate where you spend a lot of time.

Oh, the best researchers I know are highly confident. But they also work on ground-breaking topics (most of which are just two steps ahead from the current fashion, because being related to the current fashion is, unfortunately, how you get funded...). And they're bloody passionate about science.

I guess I should explain my last post (with the few English words that I know) : I thought that science was characterized by fundamental questions and doubt on everything. However, people in my lab that are considered as the best researchers works on prevailing issues and are highly confident and proud to themself. My conclusion is that science and research are decorrelated even in Science labs. ;-)

Well, that's optional. Research can be related to almost anything. But in my case, let's just say that given my training, keeping on with science is the less difficult path.

Wait : you mean that research could be related to science ?!?

Not talking back is a good thing. I wish my job didn't talk back.

Thanks, Victor Hugo.

Oh, I can't wait, Caroline. Germans generally appear as no-nonsense people, and boy do I miss that.

But Amy, I don't have a boyfriend! People around me are getting married left and right, and I'm attending the weddings alone! Don't you know I'm supposed to be devastated by that?

Kay is a chain of jeweleries, Brennig. Basically, some dude buys a girl a diamond ring or necklace or what have you, and she falls all over him. Because if you buy her expensive, shiny jewels, she will love you, fact.

I don't know the advert. But I'm with Amy, you're not inadequate in any respect that I'm aware.

I can honestly say that you are the least inadequate person I know, my dear.

Such an Exciting Life, I Should Write About It More Often - Krazy Kitty

Krazy Kitty — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 09:04:25 -0800

Oh, Brennig, tremendously so.

Oh, no, Pablo, I don't find it sad. I'm just trying to work on the fascination I have with similar blog posts by some of the people I read, the ability to tell about very mundane things without making it boring. I'm not sure how good at it I am.

Pablo — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 23:31:58 -0800

Yes, indeed, you should! For you it's routine, or you find it perhaps a little sad, but when you talk about it, the reader sitting behind his screen thousands of miles away of you, thinks it's rather exciting, yes, and understands better your moods when reading your tweets...! (and he likes the rhythm of your writing, too).

Now that sounds like a good time!

Oh, grandmas. They love to make sure you know what your role is. (I have one who is sure I cannot be happy because I don't have a man, at my age.)

My grandma used to tell me, when I was working at the pub, that I should stop eating ice-cream and wear my hair nice so I could attract a nice, rich old man who'd buy me nice things. I think she's trying to be nice, but...

Lovely Grandma! Sounds like mine :D

Portable Marley Floors Are About as Portable as a Phone Booth - Krazy Kitty

In my case, portable Marley floors are what has got to give, Bren. In yours, I don't know. But not the horses!

I just wish I had more time too. I can't cut back on sleep any further. Something's got to give. But what?
