So Jade Ed and I are in cahoots (actually just talking about but cahoots sounds way cooler) about synchronized posting about our WorkLife/Relationship issues. Does anyone else want in? I think it would be great if everyone wanted to post something so that its capturing each of our perspectives relative to where we are in our career path (grad student, postdoc, industry, etc).
Sure, were you thinking of some sort of theme of posts or all posting on the same day?
Doesn't matter to me, maybe we all release on the topic within a few days. Its probably to much to ask for all of us to drop posts on the same day?
You guys want to put out a post on Monday or is that too soon?
Probably Tuesday for me. I've had so little time to do anything other than experiments and coding :(
Tuesday works great for me.
Tuesday would work for me too. I want to crank out a few posts this weekend, anyway. Any particular theme?
I was figuring our issues of balancing work and life respective to us. I'm going to talk about my significant other, how I'm always busy and she's not, plus commuting to work.
I'm in too. Although I think that most of my stuff is a how work screws up my life. ;P
Somehow, Geeka, I think that might be a running them :P
OK- Tuesday sounds good. Genomic Repairman wrote a really good post on his previous blog. I can totally relate. I am in the same situation, even though it is gender reversed.
I think everyone can just write whatever comes to mind on the subject, whether it is how you deal with it, or complaining about it, or the difference between dating a scientist and a non-scientist- if you've been with both.
I'm not sure what approach I will take yet.
Sounds like a good idea, and I have the PERFECT story to tell about a relationship that was ended by science ;)
I would join in with this, but I'm not sure you could class what I do as work... :P
Kelly put up a post, its more about our personal strife and dilemma and less about how bad we got shredded through the grinder.
