mr. clean, mr. clean, mr. clean...

so... intern presentations today. ulyssees put the finishing touches on our presentation this morning, and emailed it to heather... so the rest of the morning was basically spent waiting to go to the meeting. lance and i started watching naruto, and i saw keith's reflection in the window when he walked into the lab, and i kinda thought i saw something wrong. keith... was bald. it was strange.

steve came down around 11, and ate lunch with us while watching naruto (and now he's stuck too! ha!). ulyssees's email to heather got bounced (i assume because it was around 25 megs), and then keith came back by and paid us a visit. i took a picture of him posing as mr. clean. and stuck him in our presentation =] ulyssees transferred that to heather over aim, and we were good to go =]

finally went down to the presentation, and the guys and i got split up... i sat in the back row with steve, maseh, and josh, but lance and ulyssees got redirected to the front row 'cause they thought we'd all fit in the first two rows. since we didn't, those of us that already sat down got to stay... oops ;p

presentations were... eh... karl gave the most amazing presentation on voip. seriously awesome. not so technical that "outsiders" wouldn't be able to understand, but not so dumbed down that it wasn't informative. and not boring. no wonder this guy goes to cornell... yeah...

all the mentors showed up to our presentation, but keith was nowhere to be seen. well, off the screen ;p damkot dragged cong down at 1:30... so early for us. we were scheduled for 1:50 and we were running late anyway, and then they moved the break from after our presentation (they forgot to have the break take up any time, too ;p) to before karl's. yes, the amazing voip guy. he went right before us. i'm sure we looked competent ;p

during the break, we (the lab team) visited with our mentors. damkot was still threatening to heckle us, of course. and then we told him that we'd left his "custom titles" for us in the presentation. so that meant... lance was "sr. intern pimp," i was "superstar" (no, i didn't do the sniffing thing), and ulyssees was "sr. intern pimp/superstar wannabe." todd shook his head when he saw our title page. i have the coolest mentor ever =D

anyway, by the time we presented, cong was dozing. i should give him credit for trying to wake up, but... he was gone. there was some giggling to the titles (no, we didn't present ourselves by the titles), and at some random things, like the picture of me in the lab.

josh worked that into his presentation later, when he was talking about his department (accounting and finance... he's actually finance, i think, but he works accounting projects as well) watching purchases or something like that. purchashing things like "those big machines that [merc] and them move around." he seemed so proud of himself ;p

sitting in the back row was a bad idea, though... we were dozing by the end of the presentations... well, not everybody. steven seemed to stay pretty much awake. which is weird, 'cause i'm used to sitting next to him and watching him just slide onto his face. not that i did that, but... guess we swapped ;p

which reminds me... it's kinda funny... nova josh in hampton is going to new york and then going back to nova, and hampton josh in nova is going to florida and then going back to hampton. it's a josh swap!
