Breakfast Commute – 2026.02.06

Another Friday, another breakfast commute. It was a busy day at work conducting interviews. I’m trying to hire one or more students to work in my labs and free up my technical student. I had interviews all day and the last one ended around 4:30. So I spent the next couple hours giving two students the good news, and bad news to the others. I submitted all the paperwork with a hopeful start date of February 17th. Now I wait for our HR folks to work their magic. I finally finished up with my administrative duties at 6:30 and set off for home.
