We don't start class again until the 7th, so in the meantime, the new year long team is training and everyone else is trying to relax and catch up on sleep. The director of the whole program, Dr. Danny Yu, got back from a business trip to America last night and as I was headed out to dinner, I stopped to say hello to him for a quick second. (Mistake Number One.)
Me "Welcome back, Dr. Yu. How was your trip?"
Dr. Yu "Ah. You are very lucky. You have been drafted."
Me "Excuse me, sir?"
Dr. Yu "You can help me for maybe 30 minutes." (Notice how that's not really a question.)
Me "Uh, I was actually heading out to dinner, but sure, I can help for a second..." (Mistake Number Two)
So myself and about four others like myself who were in the wrong place at the wrong time followed him up to his office. Ninety minutes and an entire office suite moved, including desks and file cabinets later, we were done. Dr. Yu took us all out to eat at a nice goose restaurant, which was better (at least cheaper, for me anyway) than where I was going.
