Blown off

Yesterday, the internship supervisor was supposed to come visit me at the med school library but he bailed and decided to just do the interview over the phone, which I guess is okay. However, imagine the uncomfortableness that can be an in-person conversation with someone you don't especially like and then triple it by having to converse with that man over the phone. Ugh. It sucked. But the best part was that it was only about five minutes long. At least he remembered me from the first time we met (oh, two weeks ago)...

Also, because it was the last day of the semester for Upstate, it was supposed to be "slow" at the library and they made reference on-call all day - meaning that no one was assigned time at the reference desk and librarian aid would only be sought if someone showed up with a question and specifically demanded help, yet because I was there, they figured I could sit at the desk anyway. So I did and it was by far the busiest of any days I've ever been there. I must have had eight phone calls over the five hours I was there and while that may not seem like much, typically I am lucky to get one phone call! I am happy to be gone from there for two weeks, I have to tell you, although being away for two weeks just prolongs the whole experience.

Before heading home, I got to see some of my friends last night. My friend Brian & I went to get something to eat at Friendly's, which was his idea but enabled me to try to play matchmaker with him and this friend of mine (Khris) who works there. Brian agreed that Khris is a nice guy but wasn't interested. That's fine; I wasn't that convinced there would be a love match. After Brian left, I called some friends to see if they were at the bar and they were so I headed there to hang out with them. That was nice!
