      Yes, although not all of it. The science is good but the paperwork is boring (and sometimes the people can be annoying)

      I never look at the clock, so yeah. Even when it’s really boring, gives me a chance to stick some music on my iPod and think about stuff whilst I’m doing boring repetitive things. And the satisfaction that comes with having gotten a result and found something out is amazing!

      Yes! Most parts of it. I love research and teaching and writing about science. There are downsides of course! I have to spend quite a lot of my time applying for grants, which isn’t as much fun, and you have to take care not to let the job take over the rest of your life.

      Yeah, its more interesting than most of my friends jobs. Sometimes i really like it, other times i get bored of it. But i think thats quite natural, it is a job after all.
