Zug Zug
Oh man, I'm caving and TOTALLY doing a play-by-play of my day. I've tried to NOT do that for NaBloPoMo, but heck, I'm tired and really not thinking straight.
I worked half a day and finished S3 of Supernatural. More thoughts on that tomorrow.
I got chauffered to my dentist and campus. I then had an extra two hours to squander on campus. Things went a little smoother than expected. I originally planned to go Downtown and buy stuff, but I decided against it.
I ended up talking to Awesome instead. Although it started out really awkward and quiet it ended being good because we got all the awkward things out of the way. Like gender, religion and ethnicity. Mostly because I flat out said "God, this is really awkward and annoying so I'm just gonna ask it!" We also geeked out over IB Extended Essays, helping little kids get interested in engineering and being unintentional racist dorks. The latter's interesting. We talked about how we joked all the time in High School about being an ethnic minority - and got away with it - but can't in University because there are too many white men around. He also told me about Tea Time. Yeah, that's right. HE'S AWESOME. And that's actually his name.
We then shuffled upstairs to help with a lab. And by help he poked around and fixed things while I distracted people and ate cookies. There was a minor hug-fest, beard grooming tips, more cookies and surprise hug-attacks.
After he and the guys left I proceeded to bother Amanda. WITH FREE PIZZA. It was pretty epic.
Then I cracked to work on the mixer. I met up with a lot of old pals. Most going "Geez, I haven't seen you all term." "Yeah, I'm working in Devon now. I'll be back next term." I then found the lone lady working for Stantec and minorly geeked out about how COOL building science is. We proceeded to talk about working in the industry, university programs, urban transport, mat leave and her sister. It was pretty cool. I then kinda sorta got promised a job shadow (WHICH WAS TOTALLY RAD!). Speaking of, I should probably email her about it.
Yeah, that was the fun stuff from tonight. Ima off to do real work. Cheers,
