Even in a biological lab setting, in the past few weeks my productivity has stalled out after going back. Now I have to smile and nod 6-8 hours a day, then go home and actually do my work.
- madhadron 5y agoHow does it work in a lab? A lot of what I did at the bench was actually at the bench and I needed to be physically present to pipette stuff or move cultures around. We tended to work weird, utterly flexible hours, though, since the pace was dictated by the experiments. Thirty six hours of time points every two hours, sleeping on the couch in the break room, and just not showing up the next day. Leaving a dinner party at 10PM to stop by the lab and deal with a culture before going to bed. Disappearing to take a walk for two hours in the middle of the day because because there was a 6AM time point and a 6PM time point.
- VeninVidiaVicii 5y agoYeah, I gladly go when I need to physically manipulate stuff. But, my role has shifted into data analyst, which involves a lot of nights with zero sleep nowadays since I’m using my own time for computational methods development.
