there was some women in business conference thing at work this morning, which i knew nothing about until intern-age girls started showing up saying "we're here for the conference?" and of course they don't have a contact name or anyone i can call to ask where they go and what do i do with them, so i call around until someone randomly shows up to

If this is any reassurance, I can tell you from my perch of a person who is ALWAYS sent to random places where everybody is busy and nobody bothered to tell them there is a student/intern/whatever coming: they probably felt pretty stupid themselves. Probably. I mean, there are some seriously entitled students, but really, we're lower than janitors, because while janitors do a useful job, we just get underfoot and take up people's time.

i hope i didn't make them feel stupid! they all looked so young, like they were just out of college.

I was glad to give up answering the phone at work!

You always share such interesting links. The comet stuff is amazing and the Roman glass, such a beautiful blue and so astounding to think of the trade routes it traveled.

i hate answering the phone SO MUCH. i can't wait until i don't have to do it any more.

i can't get over how far that roman glass traveled, or how it got to japan. how many merchant hands did it pass through? what was it doing in the three hundred years between when it was made and when it was buried?
