I've found my Horse

I completed interviews for the lab associate position today.  After discussing it over with my committee, I've come to the decision on who to hire.  Now it's a matter of doing reference checks (which I've never done before) and writing a recommendation to my respective supervisors. 

One thing to note:  telephone service went ka-blooey in parts of Wyandotte county today.  I was unable to perform some of the reference checks via phone as a result.
