Another day come and gone. Not a whole lot to say today, tho.
I came in to work after writing my last journal entry re: Alana, Mark and Justine, got immediately herded into a meeting about this new program a PhD student, Craig, is developing by the name of Visual Bluebird. It's a fairly nifty program that uses analytic solutions to groundwater problems. It's based on the Split program developed by Dr. Jankovic in our department. The presentation was fairly dry, but over fairly quickly (only an hour and a half or so)... I went to lunch at the campus Italian shop (pretty lousy service.. I sat there for like 20 minutes until he remembered to bring me my pop and salad bowl.)
I went over to talk to Dr. Rabideau to ask him NOW what I'd be doing since it seems since yesterday's meeting, the scope of the project has gotten bigger and since I've already got another project lined up for next year more in my field (Water Quality Modeling - I'll do something re: Lake Ontario) I'll be doing.. I don't even really know. Then I did some web-work, came home and played around on the computer.
Oddly, I'm surprised Alana never commented to either mine or Mark's message... this means either she's read them and doesn't want to answer.. or she hasn't read yet. I guess only time will tell.
Oh well, TTYL

Chinese food. Nummy nummy nummy :) I felt a craving, so I have here next to me a carton of Shrimp with Garlic Sauce (yummy, if a bit spicy :) )
Today was another long but cool day. Me, my advisor Dr. Rabideau and fellow professor Dr. VanBenschoten went down to West Valley today to hear a presentation about the future of the PRB they put there two years ago. It was actually REALLY BORING and I'd seen most of it before in reports I've read (lots and lots of reports. LOTS! TOO MANY REPORTS! *scream*
Then, at the end of the too long presentation and question period (I get the feeling the people who need to make the decisions AREN'T happy... they need to spend more money. That never makes companies happy. ), we went out to lunch at some fancy-schmancy restaurant.. a bunch of people from West Valley, Geomatrix and, of course, us UBers. I felt so underdressed in jeans and a good button down shirt while everyone else was in full suits. Ah well. The food was good. So I came home, exhausted (I didn't sleep much at ALL last night) and took a quick nap.. and here I am!

Permeable Reactive Barriers are FUN. No, really! Actually, they are fairly cool. For those of you who didn't know, I'm doing a research project re: why a PRB didn't work at the West Valley site in New York (an hours drive from Buffalo) Scott Warner, a hydrogeologist from GeoMatrix, and one of the few men with ALOT of experience at this relatively new technology was at SUNY Buffalo today giving a talk about them. It was pretty interesting and I like him quite a bit. Tomorrow we'll drive down to West Valley to see him and his opinions about why their PRB doesn't work.
In other notes, I finally got my own web page again http://queech.com/lite/ which is really cool. THANKS MARKY! I just gotta update it now and see if I have the old pictures I used to have for it or if I have to make new ones (I hope I have the old one.. I really liked it!)
No other pressing news besides...
