How Serious Is This?
This morning, I received an email from a friend, saying this: “Thank you for your congratulations on my analysis [this is the only sentence I understood in your message!]…. but I suppose you sent me this message by mistake?” Of course, I sent it by mistake, I should have sent it to one of my researchers who is working on the 2. experiment. Ok, this was just for a starter… but read this;)):
This morning (again), I wanted to pick up my mobile to call my mum. Then I realised it was nowhere around to be found. Not on the bed, not in the bathroom, neither on my desk. Then I wanted to be smart and find it with my land line. I called my mobile number, turning my head around my apartment and trying to locate the bip sound and the vibrations. There was no ringing sound but instead a voice ANSWERED MY phone (not only my call;)). I almost fainted out of surprise … and this very polite voice said: “Hello, are you calling to come picking up your phone?” I managed to answer a question with a question: “Is my mobile lost like *really* lost?” Then, this very nice person told me a story of how he and his wife had found my mobile yesterday afternoon outside nearby where I live. Since then, they were waiting for the owner to call them. I quickly ran to the address they gave me and on the way I bought a chocolate box Merci to express my appreciation to them.
Only now I am beginning to realise, how lucky I really was that such honest people found my mobile and returned it to me. I could have easily ended up less lucky and without it right now, probably whining over it as it is quite new.
However, it really makes me wonder how serious it is, that I only realised I had lost my mobile in the same moment as I found out somebody had found it. Am I losing myself? It is absolutely no wonder this happened, as I work almost all the time and sleep four hours a night in these days. When this experiment is over, I will surely take a break. Without any bad conscious!
Thank you, very honest people from Grafenauerjeva ulica 25!! I will not forget this.

One Year Old Baby
This blog has just turned one and I completely forgot about it. Could it have something to do with the fact that my ten researchers and I are in the middle of 2. experiment for PhD, this time mixing web surveys and online focus groups. Gotta rush to the class …. later!
