Promises, Promises

Dear Blog: Remember me?  I hardly do.  I'm all about hard work, school, and kissing up to professors now.  Which means I'm doing what I always do.



This morning, I walked into the office for the first time in a long while and ran into New Doc Poppy, who uttered the portentous phrase:

Doc Poppy: We were just talking about you yesterday!

Moi: In what context?

Doc Poppy: We were talking about a new project.  And [Whitecastle] said, "she's continuing her education, she'll do all the work for you."  Does he always speak for you like that?

Moi: (resigned)  Yeah, I guess I'll do your work for you.


(later, with the man himself)

Doc Whitecastle: Poppy is too impatient.  What did she have to tell you that for?  Doesn't this sound like a good project?  It's just an extension of what we're doing.  What you're already doing.

Moi: So I'll get started on all the work?

Doc Whitecastle: Exactly.  See, not too bad at all.


Systematic review #3.  Let's file that behind Systematic reviews #1 and #2 in the "Projects I Don't Have Time for Because I Haven't Even Eaten a Balanced Meal in 23 Days" queue.  Right ahead of "Read 8 chapters of a dense methodological book because the guy whose program I'm trying to get into has recommended it."
