Because it's about different life choices. And it's about people thinking that the choices they've made for themselves are the best choices and in their justification for that (so they feel better about themselves) denigrading the choices of others.
Or the ends.
So... The people with jobs in philosophy think that that's the best thing of all and that they are best because they have that thing. And the people with highly paid government jobs think that that's the best thing of all and that they are best because they have that thing (but maybe some issues if they might prefer to have had a philosophy job). And my wanting to do Med...
Well... Everyone preferred to think that I didn't have my thesis done and I didn't have a government job because I was inept. Incompetent. Mentally ill. Whatever whatever. But they felt better when they thought I wanted what it was that they had.
Anyway... Whatever.
I wonder if they really will cull my application because they are waiting on another external examiners report. They did say (like 5 times) that they needed evidence of completion by the deadline. But really they don't need that to rank me because the evidence is only about eligability and not about GPA. But they said they needed it clear as anything. Even though the university keeps inquiring about different degree programs and saying that's not true...
All year the University has been saying black is white and up is down and so on. They wouldn't process a reimbursement for months and months and months... And then they require 3x evidence of bank account details with arbitrary reasons about why this, that, or the other one isn't acceptable (with the main effect being to have it miss a pay round so as to delay it for a further 2 weeks).
I wonder if they get bonuses on everything they lose / delay in processing.
I used to have nothing but praise for the Uni. This year... I can't see much of any good there... I don't understand why? Because I don't want to stay there with them more than anything in the world?
What happened to if you love something set it free...
Oh yeah. I keep thinking the free world and civilisation and so on.
Sigh.
I hope next year goes differently for me.
I never prized myself on my ability to work with belligerant people who decide to be obstructive. Some people seem to enjoy it... That never was me.
Would that really count against me?
?
I don't know.
I guess I must be doing well if people decide it's a good time to be so awful to me.
