I can't find anything on my desk

So for some reason there are things I used to keep on my desk that I just can't find. Those things being my stapler and nail clippers. So I guess my desk is consuming random items now in the black hole of stuff which is basically what my desk becomes when I'm way too busy. And that's exactly why I also haven't written in this thing much also. Not because my stapler is missing, but because I've been so darn busy. Just for fun let's make a list of the various things I need to get done before the end of the quarter:

-Get roughly 240 student pictures converted and accounts created for the picture database
-Get roughly 50 staff pictures converted and accounts created for the staff pictures database
-Fix any random website problems that occur and continue my crazy updates to the various systems
-Try to coordinate (and get work done on) the building of this year's robot course (which includes coordinating building locations, materials, volunteers, and anything else I'm currently forgetting)
-Work on the Handyboard replacement robot controller, where I wish I could devote a majority of my time, but never really get to
-Teach FEH labs and grade lab memos
-Work on my own programming labs which consume a good amount of time when they don't work the first time
-Appear at various social events, job interviews, infosessions, etc. in my pursuit of what I will do next after my Master's degree
-Somehow get some sleep and spend time with Liz.

So as you can tell I'm extremely busy lately. The most recent news though is I may be in Texas next Monday for an interview with Raytheon. I'm not sure yet since they still think I'm graduating in June, so I had to email them back with that update and haven't heard about as to whether they still want to interview me right now or not. I guess I should find out tomorrow, or at least I hope so so I can sort of plan what I'll be doing this weekend.
Today was also a Liebert-sponsored luncheon and presentation about working there. Since I interned there years ago I already had the inside scoop, but I had to go and see what was going on and how open they are to hiring people now since I never did get my second internship with them due to a hiring freeze way back when. So there was a video about this award Emerson gives out each year for the most innovative design, which just happened to go to the Nfinity line of products which I actually helped test and work out some bugs back when I was an intern there. The video also had a lot of the engineers that I worked with in it, and since I hadn't seen them in a long time it was nice to see they were still around too. So after that presentation I went and talked to the guy that was giving the presentation and told him that I had worked on that product way back when. He then was asking when I'd be graduating and how he was looking for some good EE's. So I guess that's reassuring that I can try getting a job there again, and it being near Columbus I wouldn't have to worry about moving.

Alright, well I've run out of exciting new news and it's time for sleep, so maybe in another week or two I'll update this thing again for the 1 or 2 people that actually read it. Ok peaceout!
