How Research Works: XIV

GOOGLE WAVE: 3:45am

ADVISOR
I'm not supposed to do any work for the next few days while I recover from my surgery.

GRAD STUDENT
Oh.  Well feel better soon! 

GRAD STUDENT
(Is secretly euphoric at the prospect of a day without the advisor in the lab)

ADVISOR
Send me your draft so I can give you edits while I am stuck at home.

GRAD STUDENT
Isn't that work?

ADVISOR
I might stop by the lab too.  Make sure everything is done properly so I don't have to work too hard.

GRAD STUDENT
Ok.  Sure

GRAD STUDENT
(Is secretly crushed about another average day in the lab)
