A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
To still feel productive and get that high from getting stuff done. I honestly spend hours and hours formatting my reports/papers. I think, I got a few compliments in the past (just the average kind people say when it's clear someone put effort into something) and that solidified my procrastination.
It's usually at least a 2:1 ratio of formatting to actually writing/researching content...
I need help...
The amount of time I spent going down into the deepest depths of LaTeX magic is probably larger than the amount of time spent on actual work for my master's thesis.
Ah, I do the same with figures! Hours spent just to aling them perfectly
I spend three hours before every paper trying to find cool software to help me focus/write... only to end up writing it all in word.
Usually 15-20 minutes browsing fonts too... only to change it to times new roman when I'm done because it's required
i feel seen, we're two peas in a pod
