We have a visitor in the office this morning; John is using the FADS terminal. I guess the one in his office is occupied. It’s nice to have visitors, and John is cool. Though I think he is quite amused with the random topics of conversation that come up between Becca and me. My annual leave spreadsheet and stuff…
I’m currently trying to make sense of Gavin’s Matlab script, the one that creates pretty pictures of debris footprints. I need to leave results for Rich before I leave this afternoon, and if Gavin were here I could just ask him to do it and it would take all of 5 minutes…but Gavin’s at some meeting, and so I’m left to figure it out myself. Hopefully yesterday’s dumbness won’t carry over to today.
So I’m leaving for the airport in less than 4 hours. Hurrah! I talked to Nick last night and as a result, in my carry-on bag there are:
- 2 bottles of French’s yellow mustard
- 2 bottles of Suave Skin Therapy powder fresh lotion
- 2 bottles of vanilla Coke
- one large bag of Sour Patch Kids
- one large bag of Haribo gummy bears (which, though made in Marseille, are apparently not sold in Aix-en-Provence, a la Becca’s confirmed lack of Nestle Toll House chocolate chips in Switzerland)
- one Canon A40 digital camera
Ha. I’m like Santa Claus! With a really freaking heavy backpack. Who knew that mustard and lotion and candy could be so heavy? Anyway, it’s good that my backpack is full of stuff for Nick, because my suitcase is absolutely stuffed. There’s no room for anything else in the suitcase, but once I get rid of all Nick’s stuff, I’ll have a basically empty backpack.
Last night I went over to Gavin and Jen’s to join a small group for pizza and viewing the “encore presentation” of the first two episodes of Joe Millionaire. I know, how sad are we? But I have to admit, the show cracked me up.
Well. Not much else to say today. I’m going to France! I should be able to update this page, since Nick has internet access (I think he even has DSL now!), and you should definitely all check the Page du Jour starting tomorrow, as I will be the guest authoress. Wahoo!
