About half an hour before today's meeting with my PhD supervisors, I bumped into one of them on her way to the chocolate machine. The conversation went thusly:
Her: We're meeting this afternoon, aren't we? Was I supposed to read anything in advance?
Me: Yes, and yes you were supposed to read something but I forgot to write it.
Her: Oh, phew.
[My supervisors are in fact both lovely and usually super-efficient. But it's good to know they're human too]
An OK supervision today. I don't think I blagged as well as usual, but it could have been a lot worse and I got some good pointers for the next few weeks. Though I'm not going to be as much of a slacker as I've (woefully) got into the habit of being recently. That's a good thing.
