cami bee - 2008-11-04 3:50 PM Hey there TAN, how's uh, everything going? (It's a wee bit awkward in here).

Maybe *now* people will want my group hug.

I'm always up for a midday melon press.

Btw, you all forgot

- Having a graph where you can't read the axis labels, or the labels are missing

- Continuously mispronouncing and/or misspelling a word throughout the pres.

-Also, going over the time allotment

Thanks! They are on the list.

We have some other funny ones you might appreciate

-long explanation of standard technique

-adviser jumps in to answer question

-adviser doesn't show up

Have I ever told you about the PI on my project? I was once giving a presentation and he went to the whiteboard. I kid you not. You see, he is under the mistaken impression that he must know every detail about every subject and that if he does not - all other activities must be stopped until he can be brought up to speed.

wouldn't that just make my day.

oo my personal favorite..... people who use "seen" in the wrong way... as in "I seen it"

I would HOPE that if you've made it as far as grad school (never mind the 2nd grade), that is not a mistake you would ever make.

Ugh...I had someone like that on my master's committee.  We got in this really long discussion about the statistical method I was implementing in code during one of my committee meetings.  I didn't develop it and it's fairly standard, but I explained it over and over for about 30 minutes and he still kept asking "why I did it like that".  Drove me crazy.

It is rather sad that my previous statement can be accurate in so many cases.  The same is true here...whether you are among high schoolers or college students.  Or adults.  (How do you like the fragment? )

I have the opposite problem. An engineer I manage insists on giving me excruciating detail about his projects when I ask for a "quick status check". I really don't need to know all the nuts and bolts, just give me the big picture and let me know if you are meeting your dates. Jeez.
