      Usually I work 10am – 6pm or so, I am not a morning person so if I sleep in I can always stay late in work which is nice! Sometimes we have experiments that go on for days or weeks, and then we have to be very flexible with when we are in work.

      It varies, a lot.

      Sometimes I get into something and I work extra hours because I’m excited about it. Sometimes I’m in between jobs and I take a few short days to make up for it.

      On average I probably work the same hours as a 9-5, but sometimes I start as early as 7:30, or as late as 10.

      People mostly just care how much work I’ve done, not when or where I did it.

      Wow… I am not sure you want to know this…. when i am not on experiment i work from about 8:30 till about 6:30 but when i am on experiment i work from about 9am till about 2am the next morning. It gets crazy… but imagine it like this… you are doing something fun with your friends, maybe a great party, maybe you’re playing some computers games, chatting and eating snacks… no one wants the fun to end right?

      Well it’s sort of like that except with a big laser and a bit less dancing 😛

      We have a new target area you tube playlist for each experiment 😀
