i think putting it the way i just did... i see that i did the right thing.
i was worried because i think it's probably a false analogy about the anesthetist telling you how much time there is. i think you have a nurse who reads out vital stats and a bunch of people who look anxiously at each other. so, in other words, i think it is more collaborative...
on the other hand... from the time i applied to do this people have dragged their feet... right the way along... so it's more a case of just getting on and doing it to the best of my ability in the face of a... gaggle of people who get together and `he says she says we says' that there is no way you will (no way we will allow you to if we have anything to do with it) get things done.
the thing about the dean of the school of graduate research... waikato has a good chemistry department and a good computing and mathematical sciences department and a good... and there will be people, there, who crank out work in a timely fashion. and she is dean of them all. and she knows i'm doing this to be freed from the arts and not to launch my career in the arts on the basis of this. so...
it's only made me more determined than ever that there's no way i want to join them. was that the intent? who knows. i didn't ask to be born.
