Maybe it's not just Monday blues. Maybe it's time to move on.

Spiritless, I dragged my feet along the highly sanitised corridors of the lab. Between 2 experiments, 2 rooms. Trudging back and forth. Auto-pilot on. Mind blanking out. Anyway, there's hardly any need to think. The stillness is threatening to drive me mad. The rare human contact; a little nod, an acknowledgment of one another. Clad in the same green surgical gowns over maroon-coloured scrubs, hair nets, masks, shoe covers. Identities blurred. I'm not sure who just said 'hi'.
They say it takes less facial muscles to smile. But it's taking everything I have to get them to work today.
There was a time when I loved what I do. I can't remember that now.
I can't wait for the day to end. I want out.

I've been to the animal house over here a few times already. Was already stifled by, as u call it, "sanitised" surroundings, and the stupid face mask in those few hours I had spent there. I really don't know how u do it, man. :P

Hmm... I'm not sure if it's all that easy for me to find a job, babe. I was just lucky the last time. I rem when I took 3 months to get 1 when I graduated. It's good that u've plans to do ur PhD now. I'm still at a loss as to what I want to do. And my job sucks atm.
