"so i heard you didn't really like harvard?"
"yeah..."
"hrmm how come?"
"the people there are weird. i had one interview where i was standing up the whole time, and another one where his puppy under his desk wanted to go to the loo every 10 seconds"
*supervisor chuckles*
"that might make harvard havard"
-grad student at this time interjects:
"oh i was talking to prof W and he was saying like, he was actually tenured in harvard but he chose to come here"
"oh why?"
"oh he said that over there the faculty engaged in a whole load of cockwaving. and he didnt' like it"
*chuckles*
"so where's lookin' now?" <--- other boss
"cold spring"
"hrmmmm. lemme say that, given a choice between iraq and cold spring right now.."
"erhuh"
"i would go to iraq"
"haha"
"........"
"but really its no walk in the park"
"its 4 years. won't be too long"
*supervisor returns*
"yeah its 4 years because you have no other thing to do but spend time in the lab"
"yeah i guess. i think i'd look at the other schools before deciding"
"why not UCSF?"
"oh, its a good place for a holiday, but the people there are abit too laid back"
"ah.. i heard that before"
"oh well, we will see"
(Actually i'm all set on CSHL already. aha)
