Ah buggrit

Looks like i'm going to the reception after all. Maybe i will get away with not talking to anyone and not answering questions about my research. Feel so out of place. The education faculty is generally speaking really really nice, but i Always feel awkward around them, even my own supervisors. I haven't yet figured out how to behave around them. Being graduate research student is so scary when so clueless.

The earlier plan for nice glass of wine, book and maybe nap was interrupted by handyman turning up out of the blue to fix our gate/garage door/leaky pipe. They NEVER call! They just turn up! Once, i received a few terse messages on my voicemail from a plumber who'd rocked up at our place one afternoon without any notice, and then was Angry, when no one let him in or answered the phone. We were at work!

Crazy people.
