Finally finished off a figure- hopefully second one also completed this week along with some writing...I can live in hope that most of the paper will be done before I'm off on my hols. I've still got a strong urge to take my laptop and work on my paper whilst away, is this really sad? Maybe its not such a bad thing, I'm already expected to check my email regularly in case the lab needs to urgently contact me...the last time they did I was in New Zealand and it was to tell me I would be in quaratine because of the extreme paranoia outbreak (aka H1N1 flu). The thought of taking my laptop on holiday is quite depressing though, I feel like I'm turning into a my PhD supervisor, who used send daily emails whilst on holiday and even ring the lab to check up on us when away (well, until his wife banned him that was).
The quietness continues- I don't know why its been bothering me recently, as its always been pretty quiet.. I guess cause its also pretty empty... the docs are off at other hospitals on clinical duty or are actually in hospital - as I discovered last week when they wandered into the lab in their hospital PJs (nice green/blue tartan ones), I still haven't quite figured out what he's got, no one has been particularly forthcoming on the gossip here.
Last week was the Burns night of luxury down in Tokyo of which I shall post later, once I have my photos sorted. I think we can say we had a good time, though I wouldn't do it again- definately swimming in different ponds.
