If you spend too much time alone in your lab, like I do with my researching every other thing, then you could be going slowly nuts, without ever realizing it!
There are two point, out of which one always comes before the other. So you actually get 2 warnings!
So!, before they put you away, with all the nuts and the squirrels!, just pay attention;
1 • Notice, allong the way, when being alone, start to turn into loneliness.
2 • and notice, such things like, what I just caught my self doing!;
I developed a new ORGANIZATIONAL ORDER in the fridge, which sure is briliant, as it allows you to see something rather relevant, in a flash, rather than having to really actually pay attention and look closer. And while it is ALSO a sign of, solitude being important, for all the details in life, to either be noticed, created, reorganized or even recreated, it also serves another purpose; it indicates that if you go on being too much alone, you are on the path that can also, very well, drive you nuts.
BUT ANYWAY! Here is the hilariousness of, my organizational order!
