overheard

eavesdropping for the technologically savvy

Friday, November 11, 2005

I saw the "Advanced Pavement Laboratory" at ASU! (We were there for Black Susan's wildly successful Ph.D. defense... hooray, Susan!) Also heard the following:

"I mean, she was being nice? For no reason?? Who does that?!" -very cheerful girl at ASU on her cell phone

I though I was a pessimist, but wow!

    Um, Black Susan's a doctor of asphalt? Grrrreeeaaat. I hope she wasn't federally funded. ;)

    Hey, there's a lot of pavement in this country! We need good Advanced Pavement researchers!

    (So to actually answer your question, no, she's not... unless germanium quantum dots are the pavement of the future.)

    I thought being nice for no reason was unfounded too...lol!
