i am so sick of my computer

i realized sometime yesterday that my work has become one long video game with really shitty graphics. tony or i pose genetics brain teaser, i tackle it with clever programming and insight, etc. etc.

there have been other times when all i've done is play video games. at least for a day or a weekend. today i realized how i feel, at the end of the day, as uselessly drained as i used to in front of tomb raider. its not that i don't like my work. but i miss working with my hands. i miss benchwork. i miss flies. i might even miss the fume hood.

a week away from any computer will do me good, and i will come back to a few days of pure, unadulterated RNA extractions, which has never, ever sounded so good.
