One of the aspects of the academic life I was unaware of as a student was the "meeting." It is amazing how these things eat up time - often way more than they have to. If you ever want to be disillusioned about professors go to a meeting! It seems some attendees at a meeting must show there dominance by taking over the discussion and going on and on only to reach the same conclusion that was there 20 minutes ago.

Speaking of meetings today I do not have any formal ones! Only 2 more grant reviews to finish, talk to my tech about the results of her most recent experiment, figure out why my experiment did not give me what I expected, and work on my new lecture.
