I just had a meeting with the supervisor. I know he’s a stressful man, spending nearly 12 hours a day doing work at school. Yet, i’m very surprised at how he’s able to keep calm and handle things with smiles and laughter. Salute to such professionalism but i couldnt help but wonder is theres another side to academia talk..

Me: “Afternoon there”

s/v: “Oh hi Airul! how are you?”
(Jesus Christ… it’s you again..)

Me: “Good, thanks. How about yourself? Ohh! nice new laptop!”

s/v: “Yea.. they gave me a new laptop. Ok, ready for your update?”
(I wanted a Macbook pro but the bloody school took 99% out of my $200k grant… show me your work, i got important things to do, like painting my cats nails)

[and so... i did an update session with the supervisor]

s/v: “*short silence* ..haaa…interesting..”
(…Holy shit…)

[Further questionings and answer]

s/v: “Have you considered trying to apply this scenario to see if it works?”
(You forgot to do this scenario, you dickhead)

s/v: “Well… you’re leaving in a month, right? so we really need to find at least one scenario where this application is ideal for it..”
(Boy, you got pull out of some miraculous shit out of your ass within a month, or we are fucked)
