Since it is difficult for most of you to come visit me at work, I decided to provide a flavor of what goes on. This is part 1 of _ parts. First we have the whiteboard on the left. This is in one of the hallways. I would like to have everyone guess what part of the board I wrote on. Also, I've noticed that what I have put on the board has remained on the board for about a month. I am curious to see if it will be there, still, when I move onto my next job. I think the problem is that the board is right next to the tea ("break") room. Most people I know are not interested in focusing on work on the way to/from or in such a room.
Next we have the conference room. I spend every Wednesday and Friday morning here. Fridays are from 8:30-12. I sit in the back right corner. I tried to change up seats, each week, defying conformity, but I got strange looks from people. It is obvious that everyone has chosen seats. When I was sitting in "someones" seat, the humor for the morning was to have everyone sit in a new seat. It's a sad life that researchers live. I've always wondered why everyone picks a seat and stays there for classes, conferences, etc.. I personally like to change up the scenery.
Lastly, back to the tea room. This is the view from the tea room. Unfortunately in Melbourne, the view is not typically a sunny day. However, when ti is clear out, it is absolutely beautiful. The other side of the building has a limited view of the ocean. None of the windows open, not even in my office. I think they do that to deter unsatisfied researchers from escaping. I've been thinking about breaking my window and throwing out a rope to ab-sail/rappel down every night (I'm on the 6th floor). Work would be so much fun, and I would be so much more efficient at leaving my office.
