End of the week

Today I continued my recent hardware work and started preparing prints for my new parts.  I had a quick follow-up chat with the workshop and I think we're in great shape; meaning we're on the same page and both parties are comfortable with the design.  This should help the production phase move smoothly and quickly.

In the afternoon I spent some time with my supervisor discussing ideas for an upcoming grant application.  Although my primary focus over the next 6 months is my research and thesis it's tough not to think about the future.  Specifically what do I do come August?  At this point I have no commitments once I submit my thesis, but I am passively (I said my focus was my thesis) looking for opportunities.  As an extension, this evening I started a LinkedIn profile.  Now I am not a social media person and this blog is perhaps my strongest presence on the web, but if some opportunity for after my PhD is to find me I think it's wise to cast a wide net.
