1. What do you have to do? nt

2. search through back archives of articles

for something that I know isn't there... just so we can write it in our methods section that we reviewed all articles in this database for articles on this topic.

:grr:

5. holy cow- I found something!!

6. Is it what you needed?

Can you be finished now and move on to something less brain-numbing?

7. Nah- not really useful.

Just something to claim that I found.

3. You don't have to inspect a bunch of safety showers, do you?

Because that's pretty dull.

However it does get me away from the desk one day a week. :)

I've found that there are only two situations at work: the boring or the unpleasant.

I'll take the boring!

4. I'm working from home, eyes glazing over

reading through stuff that has no meaning for me...

8. That always happens to me about this time of night.

9. As opposed to reading something truly meaningful ...

like thread after thread about douc..STOP!..NO MAS!


So you're looking through stuff so that you can say you looked through stuff, not because you're actually looking for anything in particular?

I do that a lot at work. We call it "Process".
