Owen’s field notes entirely unofficial
The usual.
Some people keep a work journal.
I have this.
Looking busy
A notebook does make it look as though you’re working.
Results improved after opening it.
Next time: pen.
The preferred seat
Close enough to the coffee.
Far enough from anyone who might ask me to move.
Further research suggests these are sometimes the same distance.
Reproducibility
Came back to check yesterday’s findings.
Coffee still good.
Unfortunately, one successful replication raises further questions about tomorrow.

Independent. Especially from the payroll.
Please leave this where you found it.
I’m still using the other side.
