Atheists, Polyamorists, and Skeptics...OH MY! Also, Bartenders.

A few years ago while hanging out with a friend on a lazy afternoon, I suggested that we go off to visit another friend who was at work at a local coffee shop. She looked at me in a somewhat horrified fashion. “You want to bother someone at work?” I thought this was a strange way to look at it. When I worked in a coffee shop in the beginning of college, I really enjoyed when people came to visit me. Not only did I get to give people a discount, but I had a nice distraction. In addition, I liked people seeing what I did when I wasn’t in class or whatever. I am generally proud of what I do to make a living. Over the years, I have often wished that people could visit me in my chemistry world to see what I do all day (when I’m not blogging of course). I like to show off the technology I work with and geek out about why it’s “cool”. I like guiding tours in the facility and I like demonstrating stuff. It would be fun for me to be able to do that for my friends and family, but it isn’t generally done. There’s lots of security and safety stuff that you have to consider, so it wouldn’t be a habit you want anyone to develop. In addition, I work out in the relative “boonies” so dropping in is unlikely.
