So we sorted out who is who in the lab. Apparently I've been labelled Harry since I'm into trouble up to my neck right now. My German girlfriend is Luna, R is Ron (easy enough) and then we got the soon-to-be ex-boss and ex-supervisor starring as Mundungus Fletcher, his wife as Lucius Malfoy, the Estonian is a Dementor and the senior technician is... Wormtail.
Okay so this is what we've been reduced to to get a smile on our faces.
The whole situation is improving. Now if the head of grad studies will actually listen to me, things will work well. A while back I talked to my second supervisor about him taking on the role as my first supervisor. Not only was he ecstatic, he came up with a rather elaborate scheme to meld his project with mine so it fits under his grant funding among other things.
I told this to the head of the department and the head of grad studies. HoD took it well and liked it. HoG might not have been listening because the next thing I know is Mundungus is coming to me after speaking to her, telling me that AW is now my supervisor.
WTF?
I tried to go to talk to her, but her office is next to AW. Not only that, she sort of didn't listen and kinda dragged me into his office. I gave the poor guy the most pathetic look I could muster.
We ended up talking in the bar that night and I told him the truth. I already picked someone, my second supervisor (it's one of the reasons you have one) etc... and that him being my supervisor isn't exactly what I was expecting.
I had a chat with PL and told him what happened. He told me to go and talk to the HoD and not to worry, we'll sort it out and it is sort of funny so try to relax.
I did manage to talk to the HoD. At this rate, I'll be buddies with him with the amount of time I spend in his office. Anyway, the next step is for him to talk to HoG.
On another note... I LOVED TRANSFORMERS!!!! It just came out here last week. I think it's time to stock up on movies and the tv show and... the toys... I miss the toys.
