What a week! Friday
night is here and all the shit I wanted to happen didn’t happen this
week. I resubmitted my change request Wednesday
with the liaison’s promise that it would once again be expedited. Nobody has provided a definition of what that
means exactly, but two full business days have come and gone and no news. I don’t want to think about it anymore, it
always puts me in a bad mood.
Last night, I attended another meeting of the professional
organization whose members are supposed to be participating in my study. I did manage to talk to two people who
promised they would take my survey. A
bunch more people were at this meeting than were at the last one, but
unfortunately I couldn’t find the place (i.e. got lost, spending 45 minutes
driving all over town) so I walked into the meeting too late to mingle before
the presentation. One of the speakers
went way overtime, then after the tour, it was late at night. People left in a hurry.
The presentation was awesome – it was about the forensic
science program at Marshall University, West Virginia. Not only do they have the only accredited master
degree program in forensic science in the country, they have certified analysts
working on real law enforcement cases there on site. We toured some of the student labs where they
learn chemical and DNA forensics, but we got to walk into the real working digital
forensic lab. It was just like The Bat Cave. They recover data off cell phones, computers,
xBox’s, and any other digital device associated with crimes, and they monitor
Internet activity. Very cool.
