breath breath breath....oh my god, i dont know where this summer student came from and i think im going to strangle him. probably not, then id have to touch his neck and hes way too creepy for that. ive been diligently working on a paper documenting our research for the past six months. we have designed, tested and verified it. it works. we have run thousands and thousands of tests. we have nice little pdf's that show the results. we have done all sorts of tests on variations of it and determined which is best. we are almost done. all we need now is this fucking dip shit to take it and code it into c. its really that simple. today he says to me....gee, have you considered using this obscure optimization function instead of what we do use? what is that? i dont know what that is. we may have considered it, or not. it doesnt matter. now is not the time to change things. oh, well, it is the time since i havent coded the optimization yet. well, shit i know you havent coded that yet, you havent coded anything yet. you dont do anything. why dont you not do what you just said and do your fucking job. our paper is due in 15 days. NOW is not the time to change anything.
