An irregular day

Got a really bad headache today. Didn’t get any work done. But that’s not because of the headache. It’s a day filled with many faces.

The first is my potential future boss, who called me at 8 in the morning with the request to shift our meeting to the morning. He is a very friendly guy and I find him familiar coz he is on so many committees I’ve probably seen his face in the newspaper a dozen times. I think I will enjoy working for him, but I have apprehensions about the research group he’ll put me in.

Wednesday seminar series started today. We had a guy from the Open University to start the ball rolling and his work is kind of interesting. But his lecture stretched to 50 mins and I think I switched off for 5-10mins in between.

Our dear friend and colleague OJ finally drop by to visit after going phantom for 6 months. It was great to see him again and we spent the entire afternoon in SCR chatting over drinks. Modelled for him as well for some of his photography work. He said he’ll do mine and VP’s wedding photos if we fly him over. That’ll be so cool. Some of his works can be found here.

Well, and there is the story of a real fake bonsai and a real fake pebble in our office. I’ll post some shots later and let the pictures do the talking.
