Mostly Harmless

Not bad for a Wednesday, I suppose. I was mostly babysitting the Diastron (the carbon fiber characterization machine). We got new suction cups for the sucking thingy, which has greatly improved the performance. Also, no wasps, which is much better.

In other news, it seems that I've gotten railroaded into taking a class this semester, MSE 552 - Fiber Science. Its being taught by Dr. Yue, one of Dr. Vakili's cronies. Dr. Vakili "strongly suggested" that I take this course; personally I could go either way. The surreal thing about this is how Dr. Vakili put this to me. I ran into him in the hallway after lunch and he said, "You haven't signed up for Dr. Yue's class yet." His tone was as if this had been previously discussed. He told me that Heather was going to be taking it (when I spoke with her later, this was the first she'd heard of it too). Either Dr. Vakili is losing it, or I have an evil twin doing evil things up at school. Anyway, I can always switch gears and audit the class if I don't feel like doing the work. Such is life.

More interesting developments with the my Monster resume. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

I passed out at 7:00 tonight for a solid half hour. Out of no where. I guess I'm getting old. Or it could have been the benedryl. I rarely do that during Law & Order though.

I'm working on a good rant, but I'm not sure what to rant about. I'll take suggestions, weigh them carefully, and then write about whatever I want to write about.
