okay...
what got me was that i am not able to function outside the university. i do function quite well inside it, though. i am not able to function living with other people (who are not similarly introverted and focused on their own things). i am able to function living by myself.
these are facts. they can be seen by considering my life history.
i'm not asking her to lie. i'm not trying to have the system on.
i'm not asking her to do special favors for me. i'm not required to be all friendly and gregarious and flirty and pleading. i'm not asking her to do anything that isn't part of her job description.
i'm just asking her to do her f*ck*ng job. to focus on the task.
and right from the start when i made it clear that i was asking her to write something in support... she got this smile on her face like i was asking her for favors.
because she has some power now.
and how will she use it?
will she do her job and be professional?
or will she punish me for not sucking up in a way she considers appropriate? this responsivity to reason vs responsivity to people who suck up seems to be the university vs the 'real world' difference. i think it is one of the main ones, acutually. because if you don't understand reason... what else is there?
i don't play that game.
if she was trying to see whether i would then well done. i suspect that would be giving her a bit much credit... but we will see.
she left the room for 10 minutes to copy something... left a big file with my name on it 'assessment' on it or whatever. i suppose most people would look reasoning 'it is mine - it has my name on it'. actually... i know that the person writing it owns it. or actually the public health system does since it paid for it... whatever. i'm not deceptive. i didn't look. i wouldn't do that. unlike most of the world i do respect privacy.
just do your job lady. tis all.
