Real work
1/30/07
Now, before you think all I’m doing here is dealing with pathetic, not-especially-African wildlife, rest assured that’s not true. I’ve been measuring a lot of heads and wishing I had a voodoo doll for the people at Immersion, who will be (supposedly) fixing my broken microscribe. I can’t mail the thing in until I have a work order number. I’ve been waiting for a week! And it’s not for lack of effort on my part. 7pm, 11pm, 2am, doesn’t matter, I call them up and explain, and explain, and leave messages, and call back, and remind, and I get nuthin’ out of them. Couple friendly voices, and a one-in-ten follow-through rate (and that’s generous).
But, I’ll cut that rant short. It could definitely go on a while. I’ve been entering data, organizing various things, couple trips to town, and I still have a ton to do. I’ve even got a rough sketch of my semesterly activities through mid-2009. Scary, eh? Me, a friggin’ doctor (of sorts). Man I hope this work turns out all right, cuz I need a job at the end of this little stint, and I oscillate between hot-stuff and useless-to-the-world. And I’ll be almost 30!
Ok ok, enough of this debilitating talk. Photos hopefully soon. I’ll likely just be dumping them on my Fotki site. It takes a long time to upload them, and then go back and link to my photos in posts and such. If I get limitless free high speed internet at some point on my journey (hahahahahahaha) I’ll make some beautiful blogs with embedded pics. Till then, I’ll just try to name and label my pics in a useful manner.

PS: Monday, 1/30: I got my work order from Immersion, and the microscribe is on its way in. Of all the 20 things that could go wrong between now and when I get it back, I hope none of them happens, and I can happily forget about my crippled technology for the next month.
