Ugh, you go and check out one place on an anonymous tip and you wake up missing a week...

I'm not even hungover. What the hell happened?

Usually being the keyword here.

Breaks are sometimes needed, y'know?

[thestudyof]

Depends on what the break is for and what the work is.

But... I know, I get it. This is why Akira is going out of his way to help with that.

I must be a lot for him.

[ogrewarrior]

Nah. If he's willing to do it, I don't think you're alot for him.

Don't feel guilty about that.

[thestudyof]

You say that, but I'm going to feel a little guilty about it, at minimum.

[ogrewarrior]

I think that's reasonable. Maybe force HIM to go out and socialize and promise to stay on your schedule, so he doesn't worry so much?

[thestudyof]

He'd...

He does have a friend he regularly sees, and she helps out at times with the tests, too. But I feel like he'd be more secure if it were on a day where I... Wasn't working.

[ogrewarrior]

Take one day off then. I know your research is real important to you, but one day off isn't going to stop it.

We'll go do something. Like my bookclub or you can come over and meet Helen and Gwen.

[thestudyof]

Your... bookclub?

[ogrewarrior]

I... run a bookclub.

With the Barians. May not really be your scene, now that I think harder about it...

[thestudyof]

It might be a little awkward.

... But I can give it a try, I think I've been... ruminating on that.

[ogrewarrior]

It's always awkward there. They live in perpetual awkwardness.

I'm probably the best icebreaker you can get too, so... Gimme a good day for you and I'll clear my schedule and row us out there.

[thestudyof]

... I'll look at my work schedule and... see what day will work.

Thank you.
