I just want some coffee
So I was getting myself on some mailing lists at work and was on the post-doc webpage. They do some socials and I want to find myself a really bad softball team to play on as well.
There is a woman's post doc group and I thought "Hmm, that might be nice. I wouldn't mind grabbing some coffee with some people who are juggling the same things I am" I clicked on the details part, which took me to a poster.
"Are you Lonely and Isolated?"
"Join Us"
Well, that sounds cheery now, doesn't it? I just wanted to have a cup of coffee. I didn't want to be stamped with "Lonely, isolated!"
So should I join?

Isolated? Do they live on an island?
Island surrounded by sharks and poison eels/Lab full of engineers
Same dif.
Sounds a little creepy. Maybe it's a cult.
Gawd, talk about dramatic.
I bet you are right. I bet it is a cult.
It is a cult of Scientologists! Yup, that's it!
Tom Cruise is their leader. *grin*
wow was that a post doc group or did they just really shorten the phrase post partum depression. Sounds like they need a new mascot.
Post doc group sounds like a group of people who have just got out of a psychologist’s group meeting. Course I wouldn’t want to belong to a group that would be willing to have me as a member.
I just looked it up again to get the correct wording:
Are you new to the area?
Are you feeling lonely and isolated within the university community?
You are not alone.
Many other people feel the same way.
Why not consider joining an ongoing weekly group for women to share common experiences of being a post doc at the university?
Ok, forget it. It's run by a nurse. It's listed under support groups. I am totally not interested. I was just thinking I might find some coffee-mates.
I love being a post doc and don't want a support group to deal with my job.
Don't do it!!
First you go and talk and then you're sucked in to buying Avon or BMs or Mary Kay.
Oh, and those groups, they talk about sex, sex, sex, sex.
Boo, That's different from blogland how?
BTW, my labmate came by and gave me chocolates, so I'm happy today!
Well there you go Bob. You just need to organize a blogland baseball team.
Hey Bob! I finally posted my HWM story. At least part of it.
You know, all I want is to feed you fattening food, and you don't come and visit.
Oh, wait.
*checks blog*
*taps foot*
Why do you need a post-doc group when you have the ABC coffee club?
I'll be coach on the blogland baseball team. That means I get to have a coach bag.
As much as I adore the members of the ABC coffee club, I've yet to get an actual cup of coffee out of it.
This is also my fault as I'm swamped this week (again) and away most of next week (again).
Puffy! Do you promise to get all up in peoples faces for us?
Is it wrong that Bob got me all horny with her post above that won't allow comments?
*throws a bucket of cold water on z'baby*
