####################################

It was almost the end of the normal working day in Cambridge but Bernadette still had several hours to go before she was finished for the day. She had a Skype session scheduled to interview new Ph.D students for her research group at Caltech.

Sheldon had come over to see her before the Skype session started.

Sheldon: "So how long will this session take?"

Bernadette: "About 4 hours. We start in 15 minutes at 5.00pm, that's 9.00am California time. We have 5 students to interview for 2 Ph.D studentships and each interview should last about 40 minutes. I will have a 20 minute break at 7.00pm and then I will interview the last 2 students. Three of the students will be be there in Pasadena, one is Skyping from New Zealand and one from Sri Lanka. I hope that all the Skype connections work."

Sheldon: "OK, it's late opening tonight at the Comic Book store, I will go and have another look for Stuart. I will get some takeout from the Thai place that you like and meet you here for a bite to eat in your break at 7.00pm."

Bernadette: "That is very considerate of you."

Sheldon: "That's what husbands do when they have such a wonderful wife."

Bernadette: "Time to fire up the Skype. Do you want to stay for a few minutes, Amy is on the panel."

A couple of minutes later.

Bernadette: "Hello from Cambridge, is everything ready?"

Andrea: "Hello Bernadette, there is a nervous student waiting outside, we will be ready to go in 5 minutes."

Bernadette: "Before we start I have someone who wants to say hello."

Sheldon: "Hello Caltech, how are things at home?"

Amy: "Hi Sheldon, good to see you."

Jane: "Good morning, or is it good evening Sheldon."

Bernadette: "I am not sure if you remember my microbiology workmate Dr. James Delaney."

James: "Hello Professor Cooper, nice to see you again. I am the token man on the the panel :-)"

Sheldon: "Nice to see you all, OK I will let you get to work."

Bernadette: "Right, I am ready. Andrea if you want to call in the first student..."
