Pros
Work from home (during Covid) – I like the flexibility of getting up and deciding whether or not I want to go in to the office and basically arranging my own schedule.
Variety of topics in research papers – Some of the research is interesting because I am already interested in related topics. I have also learned to appreciate some topics that I would never have thought I would have enjoyed.
Living in Taiwan – Wild and wonderful place full of great people. I still can walk around the corner in my neighborhood and be completely surprised and enchanted.
Cons
Work from home (during Covid) – I do think it is easier to concentrate and just get my editing work done while I am sitting in the office. It is easy to procrastinate when you are at home. Of course, I could go into the office… if I wanted… but you know how it goes…
Variety of topics in research papers - Some topics I will always find boring ( I’m thinking of you Electrical Engineering!) When I think the topic is boring, I remind myself that it is still important for the author and his domain and I push on, telling myself the next paper will be more interesting.
Living in Taiwan – I’m not a huge fan of Asian food. Some food I like and I just keep eating those things but American food options are definitely less than in America.
