Of Pirates and Postdocs
Jul. 9th, 2006 10:23 pmSaw Pirates 2 today. Was generally satisfied. Not as good as the first. Don't want to spoil anything, so I will say no more. However, I must comment on the Transformers trailer. The Beagle 2 lander that got lost was just that: a LANDER. Not a ROVER. As in, no wheels. That bugged me more than it ought to.
Start my new job tomorrow. I brought a lot of reading to do in advance and did very little of it. I just hope I can do the job I've been hired to do. I still feel a bit like a fraud, despite the fact that my work has been checked by me umpteen million times, defended before a committee, and much of it has been peer-reviewed and published. Just still have a nagging feeling that I didn't really earn my Ph.D. and that I'm not qualified for this. I hope it's just standard nerves.
I also hope my damn furniture and possessions arrive tomorrow like they're supposed to. Unfortunately, I won't be around when the movers are supposed to arrive, but at least that means I won't drive
kathleenroberts nuts. The driver never called tonight to confirm, like he said he was going to, but then he never called to say there was a problem. Time to try to sleep now.
