It's a random bullets post today because I just don't have much to say about any one thing.
- I seem to be getting another cold. No fair. I already had a really bad one this season, right after Thanksgiving. At least I don't feel super crappy, just super snotty.
- Another great interaction with Academic Advisor today. I sent him another draft of the conclusions for my paper and he responded super fast again. He was happy with my progress and made a really constructive suggestion for the main theme of the paper. It will take a lot of thinking to incorporate, but will make the paper much better.
- I have had the luxury of working on this paper for the entire day, every day since New Years. I have been trying to savor that, since I know there won't be many times in my career when I have the level of limited responsibility that gives that kind of freedom.
- I had a conversation with Research Advisor today wherein I got to vent about an issue that has been bothering me for some time. I think it came across okay, which is to say I think I sounded not too bossy/bratty (always a worry for me at work with the super non-confrontational people there) but got my point across that I was upset with both the lack of support from her and the inconsideration (carelessness? cluelessness? laziness?) of some of my coworkers. I think the topic might come up again tomorrow during a meeting with Research Advisor, Awesome Technician, and me, so I will blog more about it after that.

Sorry you're not feeling well, I hope it's over soon! (I feel like a cold's been coming on for about a month and I'm at the stage where I'd rather be properly sick for a few days and get it over with).
Sounds like that first good meeting with your adviser has set up a whole new constructive pattern for future interactions! Yay you!
