How does that work?
I thought research grants occurred higher up the chain to perform research?
That sounds more like a refund.

Itās an undergrad summer research grant.
My school is very good at making sure the kids donāt waste time in the summer
So what is the work product of this grant?
Theoretically a paper about impressions, but if I fail to catch typos again, I might not get the work doneā¦
My advisor is OCD. Granted, I do have a problem and it might be for the best, but god itās annoying that he canāt look past a couple of extra spaces or minor formatting issues
Since heās refusing to speed things up, Iāve been spending a lot of time reading papers for a project next semester,chatting w/ CS ppl on discord and cooking
Well, we got no mercy on stuff like that at CCAC, so I donāt see why there would be any wiggle room at CMU, a much more high powered and respected school.
Can you think of any reasons why that would be the case?
My friendās advisor isnāt like that. (His advisor also doesnāt spend 20 min talking about the politics of the world cup or cats though )
This got a healthy chortle out of me.

If it was a refund, I shouldnāt have to submit an proposal- which I finished in NOVEMBER but didnāt get properly looked at until MARCH b/c my advisor went MIA and I missed a few commas and used british spelling.
To him to respond, I had to reach out to my academic advisor, who then suggested me to reach out to another academic advisor, who then had to get in touch with another professor before finally getting to him
Also, the research office wouldnāt have needed to reach out to me because my advisor was late submitting my rec letter and couldnāt be reached by email
ā¦ AND the business office (responsible for administering the payments) wouldnāt have delayed my award because HE wouldnāt respond to their emails, or the email by the undergrad research office telling him to respond to the business office emails
Heās a great person, but I really donāt think Iāll ever want to work with him again. With my failure to āget the basics rightā, I donāt even think Iāll get a good rec letter

Got under your skin a little, huh!?!
Iām still going with refund for unused room and board.
It just makes more sense. ochams razor and all thatā¦
(Dont get too mad. Iām just playing a little)

I chose to study first impressions because I hated them. Turns out not only was mum right about impressions mattering, itās 100x worse than I imagined

Iāve lived and died by them. People run Really hot or Really freaking cold with me based on the first couple seconds.
No amount of performance will change a bad one either. Not in my experience anyways.

thatās what the evidence suggestsā¦
They did studies where ppl formed impressions of a face. They then came back a couple of weeks later- forgot the face, but remembered the impression
Thereās another study where then showed ppl with severe alzheimers faces- the patients forgot the face but again, remembered the impressionā¦
You should see my kids school security/police officer. He was a former task force, under cover/drug agent.
Every time he sees me his hair stands on end, he grabs where his gun was and he bird dogs the shit out of me the entire time Iām at the school.
Weāve never spoken or interacted other than to nod politely. I might have chuckled a little and gave him a thumbs up the first time he did that.

My husband is a dyslexic engineer and can butcher the language like itās his job, about which I donāt care. Reading colleaguesā shitty case notes makes me feel a bit superior, but other than that, I donāt care. However, if someone elseās writing reflects on me professionally, I expect them to come correct and will aggressively pursue that that be the case.
That said, we do Dragon Dictation where I work now, so everyoneās shit is butchered and we all just laugh over the insertion of āhaving Elysium workā where it should be āhas been missing some work,ā and I occasionally have to do the same head-tilt over my own writing that I do over my husbandās, like the text he once sent that read āI feel you wind.ā
