A Day in the life

[dibs_and_dlas]

Just in case anyone who reads this wants to become an astronomer, or just wonders what it is that we do all day, I’m writing up a pretty typical day of observing. Note that, when not at the observatory, the typical day involves analysing data, writing papers, writing observing and grant proposals, and pretty much sitting in front of your computer

You forgot a part... talking with whomever you left behind at home.

Night work :(

Blargh. I hated that kind of schedule. Granted, the work was much more tedious an such... Hope you've been handling the rhythm well!

It's a lot of fun, even when the weather isn't too good. My blood oxygen level is in the high 70s, which apparently is enough to get you sent to hospital at sea level, but ok up here. And my (resting) pulse is about 30bpm faster than my (exercising) pulse reate is at sea level. Apparently you do adapt, though, given more time.

I've posted more recently than you have and that's sad.

You ALSO left out being pestered by History students via MSN. Ya boggins.
