The Head is not dead--A guestpost by Lady Head

I know you are disapointed that you havent heard from the Head lately. But mah man gots himself a Real Job. Yessir, he has no time for dalliances at work now. He's busy. He's actually working. He seems to be enjoying himself. And he's on his way to save the world, or at least help cure glaucoma, or basically just poke at eyeballs in a dish all day. He voluntarily stayed at work until 7:00 yesterday, despite the fact his boss and co-workers were gone by 4:30 because he wanted to "figure something out" before he left. In the evenings, he chatters like a schoolgirl about the goings-on of his day. He's optimistic. He's challenged. Its like he's the Head i knew before his previous job sucked the life out of him. He's a big boy now.

So you might not hear from the Head for a while but in his case, no news is great news. Contrary to what people might have believed previously, the Head is not lazy, unmotivated, or stupid. He was just stuck at a dead-end job where no one challenged him or believed in him. Now he's getting the respect a big boy Scientist deserves.
