The Key of Destiny

I'm so cheesy, I don't know why anyone listens to me.

We moved offices today! It was NOT what I was expecting, good lord. In the other office, we had cubicles and such, and the office was sort of divided between me, Bill, Betsy, and the receptionist (with the research office just to the side, behind a door). Now it's a small room that looks like an office for one person. Bill has a large, chest-height desk and I have a nice wide table, but it's still about the size of a professor's office. It was a little strange. And I liked listening to Bill and Betsy's conversations, but now it's just me and him. Pretty silent.

A good motivation to work, though. I felt much more focused today. I've started on the EBICS article, I'm about two paragraphs into it. I hope to finish it tomorrow, which is my three-hour day.

There's also a new student worker coming in. She was recommended by the same professor who recommended me, but I'm not sure if she was in my class or not. I don't recognize her name, if she was. Apparently our schedules intersect on Thursdays.

BUT WAIT I almost forgot the most important part of the story: I get a key to the office! It's so exciting! I really missed having one when they took mine away last semester (apparently I wasn't supposed to have one because it was an office for more than just Bill).

Today I also got a key for the SWIP (Society for Women in Physics) office (because I'm the treasurer this year), so now my keys are much heavier. I've been trying to organize them a bit, but I think i need another key chain to organize them because they all look like exactly the same key. I think Illinois manufactures them all the exact same way.

So I need some way to identify them better. Another keychain would help. Maybe I'll find something cheap somewhere sometime. I'm not sure. I really like the wristlet thing, though. I really do. It's kind of awesome. And it makes it easy to find my keys, without getting in the way or being obnoxious. And I kinda like carrying them around on my wrist sometimes.

The keys were what I really wanted to talk about. But I feel like they were the most uninteresting part. I apologize. I was just excited.
