At this point it was clear I was the joke of the day… we all started laughing, and the roasts went on until all had their say.

I am so honoured and fortunate to work with such a great team of students, technicians, and staff.

QOTD legend!

Then another student chimes in “Oh what i hate is when people put on a loose shirt, unbuttoned over a t-shirt… looks so sloppy…”

She asks and answers first
“I really dislike regular blue jeans.. its summer! Either dark or light is fine, but i am sick of plain blue jeans”.

Interesting response me thinks… then a summer student volunteers…

“Oh this is easy! Socks and sandles! I mean who does that?”

They’re silly ice breakers to make the meetings a tad less prescriptive. I often provide the questions but this time my lab manager pipes up and says “I have a QOTD!” … it not out the ordinary for others to suggest them so, i roll with it.

Her question: “What fashion trend do you despise?”
