Fun in the Physics Dept.
Today consisted of a very early morning (I should stress the early since I usually don’t get out of bed before 7am and today I was already on my way to work by then), an interesting and somewhat scary lecture on lab safety and then a lonnnnggg wait in the HR office. Don’t we all love academic politics?
Then this afternoon I spent a chunk of time actually in the labs with participants which was a blast. We worked on an SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and I had a chance to get to know a few students a lot better. They’re going to be a great group, I can tell. I am actually excited to spend the summer working with them. Our group meetings should be a blast!
All in all, I am more than ready to go home, only not really since I am also dog-sitting, and put my feet up. I have a women’s prayer group tonight and if I have anything to say about it we will be sitting out on the lawn, barefoot and enjoying the last rays of sunshine. That’s the only thing about working during the summer, less time out-of-doors. Bummer….
