Me: Ok, do you have time to meet about the discussion?
Bossman: Yes, tomorrow at 430pm. [weee, a meeting at the very end of the day. thrilling.]
(at meeting)
Me: So lets talk about the discussion.
Bossman: I didn't read it. Here are my comments on the figure legends, abstract, and introduction.
(illegible scrawl on all pages, half of which is crossed out, trails off, or directs several handwritten sentences to be inserted in the same place)
Bossman: Why are you reporting f values? You don't need those.
Me: Actually, X and Y, our resident behavior experts, said they were necessary when reporting on behavioral methods such as this.
Bossman: Oh. Are you sure you can't just leave those out? I don't think you need them.
Bossman: Your sentence here should be more like "A-B-C-D-E"
Me: (writes down "A-B-C-D-E")
(two weeks later)
Bossman: This sentence, "A-B-C-D-E," it doesn't flow and it doesn't explain anything/Get rid of it/You need to clarify/It isn't the direction we want to go with this/It's wrong.
Me: (*blinks*)
