Early morning fanishness

[mizarchivist]

Celebrity sighting: Harrison Ford. He was getting interviewed by the Fox News boy on the corner of Beacon and Park (where the boy does his broadcasts every morning). I take a page from Robin's book on matters like this: leave the poor man alone. Keep your fannishness to yourself. Pity I didn't have my camera with me, nonetheless.
Then in the course of conversation, the interns (who may well finish the project today) and I went all Browncoaty and had to discuss the 'verse a bit. Someday I may actually be able to keep professional distance with my students. I have failed utterly thus far.

Meh. I'm guessing your lack of professional distance makes you a much better boss to work for. Though I confess I do not much practice what I preach here... hrm.

it depends. I like bosses who can chill out and be friendly, but sometimes that ends up leading to a lack of actual bossness - i.e. being someone to turn to when you need help, someone to give you direction when needed, etc.

As long as the interns are learning the stuff they need to learn from the experience, however, a bit of casualness is not a bad thing.

I do tell them what to do, yep yep. So, I guess it's not that bad. They are, essentially, temps who work for the glory of experience, so having someone who is approachable to the point of geeking out on points of interest- so be it.

exactly. It's nice to have a friendly, fun boss - especially if you can learn a lot from them :)

I should also mention that my mother would DIE if she saw Harrison Ford on the street. She has a massive crush on him.

Harrison ford. It's good to see a carpenter make good. :)
