Figured I would write a short piece as I’m waiting for my samples to be done in the centrifuge…

I’ve never really experienced culture shock until very recently. Went to the new lab and realised that everyone had many things running in parallel. I found that thought repulsive. All the wisdom that i’ve gathered so far tells me that multitasking, or focusing on me than one thing at a time, makes you less productive. So to me, this is a culture shock.

I’m starting to dig deeper, and wonder if there were deeper issues, and these repulsive feelings were just manifestations of those deeper issues. I haven’t found anything so far. But that search would continue for awhile longer before I come to a conclusion.

Meanwhile, this is my attempt at trying to write more, organise my thoughts better and communicate what I’m thinking.
