I realize that I'm newer than many to this, but am I the only one who gets a bit frustrated when it's the weekend and no new studies are listed and many clinics are closed?!? Is it sad that I am this obsessed? On a related note, has anyone ever noticed a new study posted on a weekend before? And man, the 3 day weekends seem to be the worst for me lately! (yeah, basically the opposite as it used to be, when I was a working stiff... am I unusual even for this board, or can others feel my pain?) When I dont have anything guaranteed lined up(not that anything is guaranteed until you dose, I know, but you know what I mean), I ge antsy and want to be finding/doing soing related to this. I've taken a break from drinking for a good while now, so I can't even do like Max Headroom does and get blasted to take my mind off of this. And while I would entertain certain side gigs, I'd only want soing off the books, for reasons I wont bore you with. Ugggh, the weekend is upon us!!

I am freaking out!!!## It's comforting knowing that someone can relate. My situation changed today, as I found out Ive been invited to check in for a long study(about 3 weeks) 2 weeks from now. I like my odds, but at the same time I'm likely not as comfortable scheduling backup screens for the dates I'd be in that study, so there's nothing for me to do for a long time now. It feels odd, but at the same time I'm very grateful to be past the first step. Ive been checking out Celerion though, and they have much shorter turn around times between the screenings and the studies, sometimes with a screening a day before the study starts! I'm not sure how that works for blood labwork, but I like it and registered over the phone the other day. Anyhow, I've come to realize sometimes I get addicted to certain behaviors, maybe OCD-like, for periods of time. I'm still in that period with this study stuff. I suppose it'd be helpful to think of other productive things to do with my time now that I will basically be sitting on my hands waiting. It's not that I get bored(I rarely do), but I want to make sure I'm doing what I can with this. Maybe they will start some sort of group therapy like 12 step, for labrats like me, fiending for their next pellet.
