spent the best part of lunchtime today ranting to a fellow inmate about the futility of most of the work we do .. out of nowhere decided to spend the energy gained from the lunch in spewing a lot of venom on absolutely miserable undergrad "research" if i may abuse the word and how not a single soul cares about it ..
and to my absolute astonishment i get a mail from this dude (?) in france asking about this long-forgotten paper from the above-mentioned undergrad "research" and if i could provide him the implementation of the same ..
well, the quality of the work in question is in no way going to be altered by this anomalous request from the french-dude
i was really tempted to write the dude an elightening, life-saving mail on why he shouldnt be wasting his time on this piece of crap, in the end professional etiquete demanded that i just write to him with an apology that i had no clue where this implementation was rotting right now ..
asides:
either someone overheard our conversation and is playing a mighty-mean trick on me (unlikely..) or i should be using my telepathic talents to better use in the future.

ah, the things one could say in response if this weren't public broadcast!!!
though, i dunno how unlikely it is that you were overheard. the space of normal lunch options is not that big.
btw .. i was gonna add a line to the post saying this is precisely the reason id like this blog to be pseudonymnous -- the freedom of speech!
