I sent e-mail to my research assistants this morning explaining that I wouldn't be in on Thursday. I concluded with, "As always, feel free to call or e-mail if you need me when I am working at home." So I thought that maybe one of them would call me with a question about data, or something.

I did not expect to get a breathless call at lunchtime.

"Rebecca? This is Greta. I finished Harry Potter and I just had to call you right away."

ROFLMAO! It isn't a book that will cause me to go all Fanboy but it's nice to know it still happens.

Heee.

I eavesdropped on a conversation yesterday among my camp charges, since I suspected they might be giving one guy heck about something to do with the business project they're supposed to be collaborating on (and I'm supposed to be mentoring). They were all firm and even vehement with him "No, we don't want to talk about that any more, we told you that." It turned out that he had finished Harry Potter first, and was trying to tell them how he had deduced the plot twists without, quite, telling the plot twists. That was much more serious than being over-focused on the business project, apparently.

My father's working his way through the audio CDs, because he doesn't see well enough to read. He keeps wanting to talk about it, and I have to head off the conversation. "No, Dad, I really can't say anything about the bbok at all! Just keep listening!"

I have had intense conversations with at least four of my fellow attorneys this week on the book. I love it. Also, it's so much fun to be the one to share all the fandom theories. =>

Bonding with your research assistants over certain things is good, yes? *grin*

Ha ha! That's great.

Sigh. Will my copy EVER come?

Heh. Boy, do I understand the impulse!

Hee.

I had to read it in self-defense!
