One caution, however. DO NOT LET YOUR ASSIGNED DUTIES FALL BEHIND SCHEDULE JUST BECAUSE YOU NEED TO SATISFY YOUR CURIOSITY. That's a recipe for disaster, because your name will then be widely associated with such behavior, mainly with failure to keep up on your work and failure to perform your assigned duties. Nobody cares why you don't do your job. If you don't do it, that's all they'll remember. It's also what they'll tell anyone and everyone who asks, and that will damage your reputation and carreer.
