Work It!
Boredom breeds blogs...that's what I've come to conclude. I'd like to first congratulate those who are done w/finals..another round over and done with...I shall join the "endless nerding" supporting group in the upcoming fall...oh joy. I also would like to congratulate the seniors...you're done! unless you're going to be a super senior..then may the force be with you. The ones who are graduating...enjoy this joyous occassion...because it won't last. The hell of real world awaits you...and you're a foot in too deep already.
As promised when you visited this blog.. the preaching begins
The physics of work is a rather profound equation. W=Fd, W= work, F= force, and d=distance (I spelled it out for the people who remember nothing from their physics classes, slept through it, or just didnt care at all...hmm...welcome to my wasted 16 years of education) To do work, you must input force and distance. Without either of the two factors, there can be no "work".
Such a nature of work applies to real life as well...not just physics. To get work done...you must input some effort (aka get your lazy a$$ off the chair and be productive...which is exactly what i'm NOT doing). You also have to go to the "distance" to say you "worked". what does this distance mean....it means "progress". So to claim you accomplished any work...you must put in the effort and make some progress. If you only contributed effort but no progress made, you wasted your energy and will result in the equivalence of no work. In contingence, if you have progress but contributed absolutely NO effort (i dunno how that's possible..if you know how..please enlighten me and have me as your pupil =D), it's safe to say...you CHEATED or you're just a lucky bastard...and that work is not of your own but others....ergo...still zero work for you. Putting it this such a perspective...physics is useful afterall.
Reflecting on my past year at Scripps Research Institute: The Shlaepfer's lab...
F= 0, d=0 -------> W= (0)(0) => W= 0
damn.....I achieved no work. waste of a year? you betcha! but what a blissful waste of resources and boss' money! =D PROUD I AM!!!
Simple Pleasures in Life
1) Eating a fat, juicy burrito...*drool*
2) Fridays
3) Deja Vous
4) Getting a call or an aim msg from an old friend
5) Finding a quarter on the floor
