Work-life and Home-life..

Yep there is a difference. Something I believe some people need to learn as it's NOT cute at all. I work in a pretty professional atmosphere with people with phds. Today one of the girls on a subset of one of my projects had questions so we went to a post-doc to discuss it..who works on the stuff with us. I sat there and listened while she asked her questions. She started out being all flirty and acted very blondish...rubbing her forehead, playing with her hair, you know the drill. The post-doc sat there waiting till she'd get it out of her, as he was so used to give me question, I give you answer type of situations. After watching her struggle for 7 minutes while she complained of having a bad day and her mind being all over the place (sympathy plea), I spoke up and asked her question for her. The post-doc answered, and we talked for a bit longer while she finally composed herself. I think the post-doc was pissed as he basically ignored her and looked at me to answer the questions.

My issue..I know girls can be like this...In fact I can be one too..but there is a PLACE for it..it's not work for SURE. I am not sure what this girl was trying to get at..but at least in academics if you think you're gonna act stupid or go for the sympathy plea..you won't get far...unless that's the only thing you're good at..and you're looking to get something easy and sleazy from work..
