research rabbit hole

spent way too much time today trying to figure out where i've heard "miter corporation" before.

searched online. they're a huge conglomerate. like HUGE. they own a bunch of subsidiaries. neural interface research? idk "cognitive science" stuff.

very corporate. very legitimate looking.

but i KNOW i've heard that name before. recently.

checked my emails. my files. my bookmarks. nothing.

it's like it's right there in my brain but i can't access it.

anyway.

i called them back. told them i'd do the assessment.

appointment is thursday afternoon.

i made them email me confirmation with all the details. got the researcher's full name (Dr. Patricia Kemper). looked her up - she's real, has published papers and everything.

told sarah where i'll be and what time. told her if i don't text by 6pm to call me.

she said i'm being dramatic but agreed to do it anyway.

probably nothing. probably just a normal research study.

but i'm bringing my pager just in case.
