Since I moved to Suisse, I didn't experience any of the activities this select group perform on a everyday basis like wake up early; travel/or just walk to the office; have the stress of your boss in your back asking about this or that experiment or result he asked 2 days ago and you are late with it; making presentations for a sleepy bunch of people right after lunch; looking for what to lunch unless you brought that one-day-old tasty chicken. Besides having to go for a fixed time to the office; take a full bus or train, or a traffic jam in your way. Almost picking a fight with that colleague you know that should never have been hired, how the hell did he get in? Seating on your train/bus/car you think of buying that amazingly cool TV/computer/house appliance you saw on the advertisements. Or, if you are a little bit more geek you think whether you should or not spend the extra money in those iGadgets you see at the iCornershop with such a nice colours (white is also good, after all style is what counts). HAving to run at the end of the day to shop because you had to leave late from the job and almost couldn't get the market opened and thinking what the hell am I going to dinner?
OMG, all these advantages that you guys have....But making up for all of these obstacles you have to battle comes the so sacred end of the month. That fantastic period when your bank account is filled again to mamixum (or close to it) and you forget about the +!%/'" colleague/boss, traffic jams and lack of freshly-prepared lunch and full-till-door-trains and buses and a new one month period comes again.
How much I miss this! Wait a minute, do I? This week I was in 2 job interviews in 2 different labs, with people who work from 9h till 19h, smell bad smells the entire day, travel 1 hour to go (in Hungary I traveled 4h a day), and receive a few money...
The question is, do I want all this stress back?
