For the last 7 weeks, i have been in work hell! i got involved in this work project that did not have anything to do with me initially and eventually became the only focus of my work! the story started when this other person at work who is supposed to lead the project. he has done much to develop the project but in the last year or two has really been unable to carry the projec forward. after months and months of delay and stalled progress, my boss asked me to help to finish the last few things that was needed to complete the project. it was supposed to be a couple of weeks worth of work. it just dragged on forever. i did finish the required experiments but then when it came to preparing the results for publication, i found myself dragged further into the project. i ended preparing almost all of the figures for publication while my boss prepared the manuscript which i had to help proof-read. many days of work at work as well as work at home (i spent many nights working at home til midnight or later!) i think i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. my boss is appreciative. as to the co-worker...i don't want to comment.  anyway, it's not quite over yet. this paper is ready for submission but that means there will be revisions..requests from reviewers for mroe work....

 

hopefully, i don't have to do much of that!!!!!

 

all work and no play...(no rest actually) is BAD for you!
