Employment Chatter

and i’m like, no, see, it is true, but i am self-depreciating as a reflex action
Midgar310: of course, i’ve been told that my tone of commiserative empathy sounds like i am making everything about me
Rawles: And another problem that arises, which I only realized a few years ago, is when you refuse to believe that you’re gifted, you take it for granted in a way that comes off as arrogant. Because when the professor infamous for being so tough assigns an essay test and gives the class a buck up speech before handing it back because everyone did so bad and you’re sitting there thinking, “But that was so easy,” and people ask what you got as they commisserate about their C- and you have a perfect score…it’s just awkward.

And there’s not really a graceful way out of it because the fact of the matter is no matter what you do, whether you’re quiet or matter of fact or whatever, they’re going to read it as smug and arrogant because well, you just proved that you’re a lot smarter than everyone else present.
Midgar310: i hope that you understand this is not the case
Rawles: i think that i do
Safety concerns and fresh trial data have persuaded Swiss biotech Serono to suspend two Phase III trials. One late-stage study of the tumor necrosis factor binding protein Onercept for moderate to severe psoriasis was halted after two patients in the trial were diagnosed with a blood infection. One of those patients died. Another study of Canvaxin for Stage IV melanoma was suspended after researchers determined it was unlikely to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement for patients. A separate trial of Canvaxin for Stage III melanoma will proceed.

Rawles: and i hope you understand that these two long TALES OF RAWLES’S LIFE that i’ve just typed to you are me trying to explicate on how i pretty much understand exactly what you’re saying.
Midgar310: my reputation for extreme laziness has saved me on occasions like that, and yes, i do get you exactly, i also reflexively check to make sure we are on the same page so that i do not start anything unintentionally

Din-Din
I have had a throbbing headache since about 5 o’clock..I have drank water today, probably not enough, I am going to grab a bottle as soon as finiahs typing. From what I gather on this diet, if you get dehydrated you can mess up your kidneys. I need that lilke a hole in my head.
Midgar310: that’s when i pass off my intellectual-ness by saying something casual like, “you just have to tell him exactly what he wants to hear” and not, “i have a 98% average in this class and none of his papers has taken me more than five hours at the library, usually while i was on shift, and then i went home and played videogames and wrote porn until i was unconcious.”
