Day 01

The work begins...

Most of you reading this will be aware that I'm doing a summer project researching the differences in piglet mortality between two pig houses (what a mouthful - try telling that to people all day).

The good thing is I get to play with piglets, which are infinitely cute, in a pink, sharp-toothed, curly-tailed sort of way.The bad thing is that they're usually dead when I look at them.

My first day was a bit disorganised, and went something like this:

0900: Arrived at vet school at office of supervisor. Nobody there.

0910: Supervisor arrives and is immediately called away for a meeting. Tells me to go look some figures up and we agree to meet back at his office at 11 to further discuss the project.

1200: After an hour of me sitting in the office, supervisor arrives back from meeting.

1230: Supervisor called away again.

1300: I gave up at that point and went home to research project. Spent the evening researching computer games.
