Lab Time Lab Time Lab Time

You know you've been in the lab too much for too long, if:

- The secretary greets you merrily, on a _daily_ basis;
- You can fix that printer in K0.06 within one minute, if it has broken down once again;
- You have formed an intimate relationship with the coffee machine and have intense conversations with it;
- You do not even allow yourself those ten minutes to go out and buy a bread;
- You're the only one walking outside wearing a sweater (it's rather chilly in that cellar)(if you go outside at all);
- You chuckle with joy the two metres you walk past the olive shop (god does it smell like holiday!);
- You can't believe the sun shines;
- You have lost all sense of time (morning/evening, Monday/Thursday, August/May?);
- You can't believe all these people never heard of cross-serial dependencies nor verb clusters;
- You can only think of beer. Beer. Beer.


But! This is the last week. The. Last. Week. The final draft (of my thesis) is due on Friday. Wish me luck..

..And yes. All these things actually happened. No further comment.
