I am in the lab sipping test tube substances and critiquing them like fine wine

in a year or two some of us will be able to say “i wrote a phd thesis during the apocalypse”

I am currently away from the office and have intermittent access to email. If your email is not urgent I will in all likelihood still reply within 10 minutes due to ineffective self-regulation and an inability to maintain work-life balance.

CAFFEINE!

I belong to “Procrastination” and “Taste” groups. 😄

Caffeine in the morning and alternative to eating in the afternoon when I can’t get a lunch break

Accomplishing next to nothing, the grad student is still exhausted.

Academia is cool and sexy until I’m expected to do work

adulthood is just telling yourself “and after i’ve done THAT i can finally relax” with increasing desperation

Same...

is anyone else getting absolutely no work done at all

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! At least my worms like me.
