Had an uneventful day at work yesterday. We like uneventful days at work, they're restful. Dr S stopped by to talk to Donna and I just before I left last night. Seems he'd been up in talking to one of the vice presidents about further developing the hort program here, and he told her that he thought one of the best things for the hort program would be to get "the dynamic duo" (his words!) through KSU's masters program so we could teach more classes for transfer. Said vice president had already heard that, and thought it was a good idea. Scary. (Scary, because (a) people are talking about us higher up, and (b) when this VP thinks something is a good idea, it Happens. ) Dr S also told me that he'd been talking to my new boss, and had told Dr G that I was the best person on staff to teach his design class next spring. That set me back a bit--much as I feel I'm not ready for that, it's hard to argue when someone in his position says that, and then lists reasons why he feels that way.
I think I've just been sandbagged into teaching intro to landscape design come January.
Dr S also spent some time talking to us about what we need to get the grad school thing rolling. Unfortunately, that includes statistics, a graduate level course. Blaaaah. I managed to weasel out of taking it as an undergrad, because I was in the design curriculum, but now....**sigh** Luckily, he said that several of the "get your MBA" programs in the area runa stripped-down "statistics for dummies" course, and any of those would transfer.
By came home from work last night grumping about the fact that he was told to be to work no later than 5:30 this morning. Robyn came to her senses about 10:30 last night, and called to say that she couldn't be ready to load the van by then, and he could get in at his regular time. Whew. Things ought to be a bit quieter for him this week, with her out of town.
