Spandrel

All alone in my lab for a moment. The only other guy who's here today has just left the room. Presumably the building too. I suspect a cig break, but you never can tell.

Went to a big "how to teach undergraduates the stuff" thing today. Spent the hours until lunch (free, yey!) sitting in groups talking about the dangers and triumphs inherent in small group teaching. Fun fun. Was in a group with 2 physicists and a mathematician. Nice guys, but it seemed beyond them to conceive of a subject where tutorials do not involve students preparing answers to complex mathematical questions. Ah, how I sneer at other disciplines.

Anyway. Had the free lunch, then decided I really couldn't stand being there for another 3 hours, cut my losses and ran. Have been sitting in my lab ever since. Doing sort of... nothing. Well, I ran some analyses, read a paper or two. Sent a gazillion emails to a variety of people. Now am... searching for distraction.

Might go home shortly. Have dinner. Go find beer.

Walking past a group of people on saturday night. One guy leans in close to his chums, eyeing me as I walk past, and says "hey, there's that guy from..." . The people I was with heard him too. Very strange. I'm not "from" anything, in particular. Unless he meant London. But that would be kind of odd.

Bizarre.
