Last night Jamie and I were trading stories of the various people that we run into when we are at work. It is interesting to note how many oddball characters there are in our lab. This is not to say that there are not legitimate people that we do help, but we do get our hand full of people who are just plain inconsiderate, crazy, and have no damn idea what they are doing.

So, on Friday I’ll be going to a CCS workshop on how to make the most of career fairs. Hopefully that will help. Then I’ll brush up my resume and get ready for the fairs next week.
