Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

This is a topic I've been thinking of writing in the student accessible version.

But somehow for now, there are more posts to be written in line in that journal than here, when anything that can be expressed there can be done so here, but not vice versa, although in repetition.

Okay, since the current state has something to do be maintaining the positive out of any situation, then I guess I won't put it there but here.

It's about my former co-teacher, chairman and undergraduate thesis adviser, who is also the contact person of the Taiwanese researchers who he first offered to help in his university.

Even though there doesn't exist a memorandum of agreement yet between the Taiwanese and our campus, from the way that he is always bugging me about the updates to the physical reconstruction they want done to the campus for their experiment, you'd think that everyone other than me, the director of the school of engineering and the former dean are clear on the deal.

Which is not the case: as far as the physical facitilies personnel are concerned, they are still waiting from word on high about when the project will be "go", and that's not coming from me, and I'm not going to insist myself as I'm not "on high".

The funny thing is, this guy has called, texted, missed called (all of which are not proper verbs I know) to ask for updates, which is funny because I always tell him the same thing: that I'm still waiting the same way he is. What I don't tell him is that I don't use the same bugging tactics he does.

That's because I still want people to like me afterwards, which I stopped doing about him a long time ago, even before they first showed up in campus, because he was already persistent back then.

Doesn't he understand that after the first five inquiries, I will definitely tell him when there is a change in the status of the project just to get him to stop? And that his calling more and more often does not make the project hasten because I don't bug the brothers and administrators the same way he does?

Session 2143 wins as a researcher but fails as a basic person. Class dismissed.
