Vie-ah or Vee-yah

My boss is quite annoying. How would you pronounce "via"? Supposedly my boss is the best district conservationist (DC) in New York and I'm incredibly lucky to be working under him this summer. I've definitely learned more from another person in the office who unfortunately is going to be transferring to another office in two weeks (good for him though).

But back to my boss..... You know the people who always have to make a joke, even about little stupid things? My boss is one of them. He makes all of these stupid jokes that aren't even relatively funny. He also makes me feel like I'm not good enough. He goes on and on and on about how great his sons are. How perfect his sons are in everything - I swear they could do no wrong. My mom met him once or twice and when I talked to her yesterday about my boss she completely agreed with me.

At least tomorrow I'm getting out of our office. I'm going to go see two other western NY NRCS offices. The first is in Warsaw (?) - the DC there is awesome. And then most of the day will be spent in Batavia - that's where the guy who hired me works (he's the state conservationist and the team leader for our watershed team). I'd much rather be working in the Batavia office.



On a completely different note -
I think I have a list of grad schools I want to apply to narrowed down: University of Colorado @ Denver, University of Iowa, Arizona State University, and Iowa State University [in that order]. What do you think?
