Isn't that most, to say the least?

I'll be hosting the November Scientiae Carnival, and it's high time I announce a theme. 

Day after day on our blogs, we all write about the trials and triumphs of life in science. The guilt, the frustrations, the jackasses.  And the gratification, sense of importance, the pride.  But when you boil it all down, I wonder,

What is the best part of your job/life as a scientist, and what is the worst part?

How do these things motivate you?  Do the good parts function as a carrot and the bad parts a stick?  Or are the bad parts simply something you endure knowing that no job is perfect? 

As always, women and men both are encouraged to post for the carnival.  And if you have something you'd like to share but you don't have a blog, I'll consider guest posts here.  Get your posts in by midnight (American Samoa time) on October 31.
