I would've never thought you're really going to make those improvements. And now - I go for holidays and obviously everything happens when I'm away...

My friends recon I look like an idiot without glasses. So: glasses/laser eye-burning robot? Glasses/laser eye-burning robot? Err.. I stick to glasses

And I've just finished!

Well, I'm alone in the lab, so nobody to speak to - not even an awkward non-speaking type ;) And additionally - I'm processing data which is so automatic that does not require ANY activity of the brain. Each time I make a break I feel like I'm getting dumber. Hopefully I'll be done in an hour...

Planning Saturday in the lab. Anybody else is getting a bit overdiligent?

On the other hand - I'd like to go out and relax, but just don't anybody in the town to go out with :/

Apparently I'll be curing my Valentine's Day moral/emotional hangover today in roller disco. Wasn't quite sober, when they asked me, if I'd like to come. Last time on skates - almost twenty years ago. Should be fun :)

P.S. Still waiting for some good advice about nice pens. And I do mean it - I love fountain pens, but I cannot afford most of these that I like. Story of my life (again).

Oh, poor you sleepyhead. After the topic on wanting a boyfriend died, I thought you've actually found some.

But hey, I'm miserable on the Valentine's Day too - work in the lab. LoL. So there's two of us...

P.S. I also need a pen. A nice one :)

Don't you think, juno, that it does matter how you approach them? And anyway, I suppose that by 'on the street' jouri meant 'in public'. Or do you find talking to women e.g. in cafe weird as well?

'Three men in a boat (to say nothing of the dog)' by JK Jerome. It goes slowly, but only a page or two can make my day, so I'm not in a hurry to finish it :]

Talk to your sup.

Go out.

Find a hobby.

This advice may seem silly, but believe me, it is not. It's been scientifically proven by my firends and myself (by try and error method) to work.

I'd say that there's been an extremely poor frequency in this (off-toping) forum recently. Did everybody simply suddenly start to work? Please, tell me I'm not the only one struggling with labwork and not being able to do anything...

@sleepyhead

Oh, it's kind of R's appreciation society ;]

@thecoastman

And how about twisted loser look? I'm much better in the latter one ;P

Y'know, I saw today the most beautiful girl that I've met, since I came to UK. Normally I would probably even ask her out at least for coffee. But lucky me, what did I do in the morning? I did lose my wallet... In dire straits, with mad look of someone who's just trying to cancel all his bank cards - that would be really funny coffee-chat...

I can't believe this topic still exists...

And, additionally, it seems to develop exponentially...

@thecoastman: Megalol. Yes, yes, we're modest (muttered through the shaggy beard). And extremely handsome - in that twisted, geeky way...

Btw, I run the hot PhD girl-geeks group in London. All ladies are welcomed to sign in :))

@sleepyhead: Hope your meeting went o.k.
