there was an article on the noticeboard in svi (im such a sucker for article-on-boards huh) about some guy in america who was dead at his desk for
FIVE whole days before people realised that he actually had a heart attack while proofreading medical txtbooks (oh the irony). they said that this guy always arrived before everyone else and would only leave the office when it was empty. so they thought it was quite normal to see him sitting at his desk all day long. how stupid.
but anyway the point of the story as told at the end of the article is
Don't Work So Hard, NOBODY NOTICES ANYWAY
if you're an article junkie like i am, and want to look like you're doing something substantial at work when you're actually not (after all, nobody would notice) you could check out the medical electronic journals (you can access them through the lib website). they have very interesting stuff....i was searching for my usual Nature and Cell and Science journals when i saw things like journal of parapsychology, journal of sleep research, journal of theoretical biology (THEORETICAL?) and some life after death thing which i can't remember now. it keeps me entertained most of the time.
