Sigh, the girls in my office talk so much, I really have to put on my noise-cancelling earphones so that I can concentrate on my work or my (manga) reading. Sometimes, I wonder if they come university on their research or do they come here to socialize. Holy cow, it's been half an hour since then and they are still chatting!
Well, I am going all out. I plan to finish my lab work by end of July and start my pilot plant testing next month. Not gonna give too much attention to them, but it's not like I can totally ignore them.
Socialising skills are important too. After getting to workplace, your degree wouldn't matter as much as your socialising skills anymore.
ReplyDeleteI intrinsically know that too. Bonding socially with friends and colleagues is an important thing to do in labs and universities. However, I will always ask if a small talk will ever bring lead to any fruitful outcome. For me, I would rather avoid "socializing" without knowing for what purpose am I doing so. Even if I genuine concern for my friends, I would still have to prioritize in getting my work done and not spend too much time talking only.
