Slaving Away

Slaving away sounds attractive right now. A better prospect, if you can believe it. I haven't done this type of work in a long, long while. Eight years ago, this would be a normal thing. An excel-full of numbers, playing with it, sorting it, nothing but numbers, all 4 hours of staring at numbers, redoing mistakes, but still all about numbers. What's more, pulling conclusions and intelligent-sounding meaning out of the numbers.

Anyone remember Chemistry lab? What about Quantitative Chemistry lab? Physical chemistry? Any science lab? Excepting Physics, because they don't seem to require as many numbers in General Physics. What about accounting?

There you go. If you can remember that, you can understand why I have to take a break. Why it's very necessary to take a break. I need chocolate, a good book, a hammock, and a beach resort. I need those to recover.

After this post, there's probably another hour or two of numbers, then hopefully, I haven't butchered this so bad.

Ok, back to numbers now. It's not going to get done by itself, and I'm OCD enough to not want to go to sleep until I'm done. The best part is, I have a date with a really good book when I'm through.
