A scientist is a pie (no, wait – this is going someplace). Like a pie, a scientist’s job is to be eaten. Different people want different sized slices. Some people want you to spend your time on a research project. Other people want you to spend your time on service or technical work. Others still need your help with their work. 1\/3 of the pie is pre-allocated to sleep, and another 1\/12 is devoted to meals. The other thing to remember is that the scientist pie is just part of the whole person meal; the other courses are reading, relaxation, hobbies, friends, and family. You might recall that pie is only, therefore, supposed to be part of the whole.<\/p>\n

The problem with being a pie is that the people vying for slices don’t coordinate, and therefore they each ask for more than is available. Worse yet, sometimes the pie wants to keep a slice for himself. That’s right – sometimes a pie just wants to have a piece left alone.<\/p>\n

Okay, this metaphor is dead. I’ve been lazy about writing lately because blogging is like salt; you can do without it most of the time, but sometimes it just tastes good on food.<\/p>\n
