The November Scientiae Carnival asks: "What is the best part of your job/life as a scientist, and what is the worst part?"
For me the answer to both has got to be the freedom to set my own schedule. I love the fact that I can work whenever I want/feel inspired/have energy, so if I feel like working all night long (like much of this week), I can do so. However, the down side to such a schedule is that it can be difficult to take time off without feeling guilty for not working. People who have jobs which require them to be there at specific hours are free to play during their non-work hours. Those of us who have jobs which aren't tied to a clock, on the other hand, may be free to select which hours are work and which are play, but it is easy to get caught in the trap of thinking during play that one should be working.

A downside that seems minimal =] as someone starting what will hopefully be a life long career in science it's nice to know the biggest downside is guilt!
to love, like never been hurt
to dance,like no one appreciate
to sing, like no one listen to
to work, like no need of money
to life, like today is the end.
