Why does this always happen when I leave the office to get some labwork done?
Boss : Hey.. so I'll see you tomorrow at 3pm?
Author : Hm? what's at 3pm?
Boss : ....... haven't you been checking your email?
Author : I have! but I haven't seen anything from our unit lately..
Boss : We're leaving for Pasoh tomorrow. There's a dinner tomorrow night and a meeting the next morning.
Author : What!? but I've lined-up all my labwork up till the end of the week. How..?
Boss : *sigh* you really need to get out of your cave and come back to reality sometime..
Just so you know, it wasn't entirely my fault. My email address was left out of circulation when the announcement was given out. I'm still kind of bummed out to be missing the family dinner tomorrow. The past few months I finally felt like I was connecting with my colleagues at the office.
Just my luck. I am the ecologist slash molecular biologist slash MSc student, and it seems that whenever I retreated to labwork, other realities fall apart, without me wanting it to.
I feel like such a coelacanth.
