WAHOO!

"VRC -

A visit has been processed and approved for Bob Bobs middlename Bobsothermiddlename Bobslastname. Her visit request is being faxed. Please set her up with a Foreign National Temporary Pass.

-

Just a reminder.....due to the current security conditions, Ms. Bob must be
escorted during her visit.

Thanks,

Random Person


Guess who gets to see the shuttle at the Kennedy Space Center (and gets to partake in the 2 day meeting without doing stupid teleconference from her hotel)?

I LOVE my job. Have I ever mentioned that?

WOW! Congrats Bob! That's awesome.

I suppose you won't be allowed to take pics. Make sure to get a souvenir mini-shuttle :-)

Very cool! When do you go?

I think Ms. Bob would need to be escorted regardless of security conditions.

Have fun!

I leave next Monday and am back on Wednesday.

(My flight was already booked, as we had heard that I should be approved, and (more importantly, flights were really, really cheap)

Mr Bob has asked for some of the foam.

Mr Bob is a bad person.

Did they mention the foreign visitor body cavity searches? Or is that going to be a surprise?

I don't remember - is there supposed to be a launch? We drove 2 hours (or something) from Disney World once to see a night launch but it got cancelled. So we drove two hours (or something) back. I would love to see a launch.

No launch. Though I think one is soon, as they were not certain that the shuttle would be in the verticle or horizontal position.

*hops*

I am so excited.

I am SUCH a geek.

I also have to get NASA hats and mini shuttles for my labmates who have helped me out a huge amount with all this work.

Random confession: I was NOT the best choice for this project, but I think I got the gig because

a) my other project is wrapping up and
b) I speak English.

So is that racism? There is a visiting Chinese professor who has done all the work that my boss is presenting and I'm the one tagging along. (My boss is presenting a bunch of other stuff as well and I've done a lot of research and data mining for that, but still)

My SIL went to a 10-day Space Camp put on by NASA. She got her picture taken in a spacesuit. Just sayin'.
