It had never occured to me, until now, that someone could drink at work. I knew you could - but I couldn’t think of how someone would want to. This is likely due to the fact that for me, boozing is a highly social activity. I couldn’t imagine sitting at work, hiding my drunkeness and not having anybody to share my spirit with.
But today I am sitting at my desk and I am thinking, yes, I can see that there are some reasons why people might drink at work.
This is excruciating. I am getting nothing done here. I feel so motionless, so unable. I didn’t sleep enough last night and I can’t read papers unless I get my full 8 hours. I’m in the lab alone. My only distraction is the Internet and I am sorry Internet but I am getting so sick of you.
I wish that someone would come along and save me. Talk to me. Entertain me.
But I am here for a reason. That is to work on my thesis. Oh thesis how I loathe you you make me sit here in uncomfortable office chair with loud building hum and mocking blue skies outside and a table / desk that I am sure sucks the heat from my hands to use as energy for its self-dust-generation machine.
I think I might re-try working at home. There have been many failed attempts…but the amount of work I am not getting done here is getting ridiculous.
On another note…if anyone is interested in collaborating on some sort of online photo / story project please let me know.
