Aug. 29th, 2005 10:49 pmmet with the internship advisor and a fellow grad student today.
We planned out what we're doing again. Can't tell if it's cultural or personal, but I found myself directing the meeting through "helpful suggestions" like "anything else we should talk about?" and wound up adjourning it. It's no surprise that Dilbert's experience is so common; so few people understand how to have a meeting happen quickly and effectively.
We left with a short task list of things to do this week before I leave. I have already done almost all the parts that I know how to do. With twenty minutes' more work, I'll be done with all the work I know what to do with; I'm waiting for some more work from the other grad student.
I came home and read for a while. I find myself missing
imtboo more and more. She's off doing interesting work in Spokane today and tomorrow; and of course I'm not in Seattle anyway, but I can't wait for her to get back and me to get back. I have this hollow space between my arm and my chest where I can almost feel her, next to me with her head on my shoulder.
