The following conversation actually took place.

BYU Capstone, this is Lindsey.

Hi Lindsey. My name is Billy Hancock. I will be doing Capstone next year. Right now I am in Kentucky working for Toyota and Boeing has offered me a job over the Summer. So, basically, I need to know what to do to prepare for Capstone since I won't be in Provo until right before Fall Semester.

[looking up his photo asap on BYU records] Okay, well we will be having a Kickoff meeting for incoming Capstone students on March 17, and I will be sending an email out at that time as a reminder. Since you won't be here, you can just send me all the information I'll need over email.

(This went on for a while ... he asked how to pick his team and project, which is done the first week of school and you don't get to pick your own team anyway)

Thanks, Lindsey. Oh one other thing - I need a grad adviser... but you probably only do Capstone, right?

That's right. I can transfer you back to the Mechanical Engineering secretaries for that. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Well.................. how old are you?

Ummmmm, what? [laughing] 26.

Oh, so you're probably married, huh?

Actually, I'm not.

OH! So, maybe.... when I come to town in the Fall, we can go on a date...?

Ha!! You don't even know what I look like!

Oh since when does that matter?

Well, I looked you up!

You did?! Oh man!

And I am blushing like crazy right now! Thanks!

Wow. It is going to be REALLY awkward the first time I walk into your office.

Yes it will be. By the way, I'm from Kentucky.

Oh no way!! Guess who visited here last week. Elder Bednar! I got to be near him!

Oh well I am 40 miles from him at almost all times, so....

Yeah, you win.

Let me get you back with the secretaries up front, and good luck with everything.

Thanks.
