Mostly bored, with a touch of strangeness.
Six months ago, I was able to make plans at the last minute. Now, I keep a schedule on my flash drive so I can keep track of all the events I’m supposed to go to. It’s not even that I’m busier than I was, it’s just that now am being forced to make plans farther in advance. It just seems like things have become more complicated.
I was talking to a friend of Jefferson’s a few weeks ago (who had heard me give the Science in Anime talk last year) and we were talking about jobs we’ve had. It was a strange conversation, mostly because of this interchange:
Him: So, you’re a research biochemist now…and you used to work at a museum? What did you do there?
Me: Give lectures mostly. I did do some astrophysics research but not as much as I’d have liked.
Him: So, you were an astrophysicist and now you’re a biochemist.
Me: Well, not for much longer. I’m going to start Law School in a few months.
Him: Umm…this was all in the past few years?
Me: Yeah, I know. I switch professions a lot.
Him: Why?
Me: Uh, I get bored easily?
Yeah, my resumes a mess.
Speaking of getting bored easily, my job has been very slow recently. We’ve answered all the big questions about the research and we’ve solved all the big problems so I spend my time taking care of very minor issues or answering reoccurring questions. I guess it’s a good thing that I’m leaving to go back to school soon because I’m just so bored
