The seemingly "big" news of the day is that I've uprooted by desk and moved away to a isolated room adjacent our lab. After three years at my desk in the middle of the lab, I've sequestered myself in a side lab (our optics room) to focus on my reading and writing. At my old desk I was right next to the door, printer and telephone which provided far too many distractions. Now I understand a new location does do my work for me, but I am hopefully the isolation will allow my to work for periods uninterrupted. At the very least, it forced me to organise my papers and books.
This morning I spent time with one of our visiting students, training him to run an instrument that he'll use for his project (which I am helping to supervise). Also I picked up a parcel that contained the last of the raw material for my latest project at the workshop. I past along the parts to the shop and had a chat about their progress. Things are looking good and I am optimistic I'll have most if not all of my hardware when I leave Wellington. In the afternoon, I attended a workshop related to an award programme I am completing in tandem with my degree.
