One thing that struck me was how closely he worked with the experimentalists, how well-versed he was with their science and how receptive they were to his ideas. I thought there was a lesson there both for young modelers as well for the work culture of a company.Wavefunctionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993805391653267639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-15699365311967779372012-03-05T04:43:25.850-05:002012-03-05T04:43:25.850-05:00I found, as things got higher and higher pressure,...I found, as things got higher and higher pressure, that lifting weights for about an hour, followed by a few episodes of something funny (The Office, Sealab 2021, MST3K) usually worked for me. <br /><br />If not, a long drive out into the middle of nowhere (it was easy to drive away from my grad school only ~30 minutes, and be somewhere with fields and trees, and no people...)See Arr Ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464185815368499346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-76464471657829038112012-03-04T19:32:07.786-05:002012-03-04T19:32:07.786-05:00Also, why do you feel inadequate compared to BDM? ...Also, why do you feel inadequate compared to BDM?

We used to get rip-roaring drunk all the time, and I recall coming to lab on weekday mornings with a hangover many times after going to the bar with my fellow chemists the night before. My desire to drink subsided quite a bit after I left grad school and the pressure was off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-55239726782143432452012-03-02T15:52:22.760-05:002012-03-02T15:52:22.760-05:00The University I went to had an indoor rifle range...The University I went to had an indoor rifle range (22 only) on campus. Shootings things really felt good! In all seriousness the concentration, regulated breathing, and overall focus of being a good shot, being able to quickly adjust what you were doing wrong and seeing results almost immediately was very rewarding after a bad week in the lab. It is something I still enjoy doing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-41026220419543706182012-03-02T11:50:18.060-05:002012-03-02T11:50:18.060-05:00There is no such thing as "work hard, play ha...There is no such thing as "work hard, play hard". If you think there is, then you're not working hard enough. I'll know you're working hard for my company when you get home barely conscious and only able to turn on the TV and stare into vacuous-eyed for a few hours before dragging yourself into bed.uncle samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-511167167467341852012-03-02T11:07:31.909-05:002012-03-02T11:07:31.909-05:00Dr. Thompson is maybe a brilliant scientist but he...Dr. Thompson is maybe a brilliant scientist but he does not appreciate that the best way to keep them faithful is to keep them pregnant.milkshakenhttp://orgprepdaily.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
