So I received my first pack of free stuff yesterday. P&G sent me a single us of tide. I will split it between two washers. and a sample of head & shoulders shampoo and conditioner. I'm thinking I will pack these for the trips I'm taking for work.
Speaking of, tonight I head out to spend the night with my family and give a presentation at a conference tomorrow. I'm a little nervous. One thing that irks me about all conferences in academia is that instead of paying me, I have to pay them for my admissions. I pay them for the privelage of presenting my work. I will be published in a book, and I will not see any money. The expectation is that grants (mostly from the government) will pay our salary and pay for my travel costs. I think its a really silly system.
