The day my FYP supervisor thought I was a smoker


Was it the puffy eyebags? Or the paleness? Or my morning runny nose?

Him: "Maybe you won't have it (runny/stuffy nose) if you smoke less." ??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: (Stunned) "Oh, I don't smoke."
Him: "OH! You don't smoke??"
Me: (Thinking to myself: "Huh, is that a crime? Do all the female PhDs in your lab smoke?!")

What the???!! Thank god for the lovely lunch with Mich at Holland V shortly after the meeting. Mark and her have a very good thing going on, practically inseparable.:)

Anyway the two supervisors are taking turns to talk me into continuing my work for a few (or many??) more months to publish a paper on it. A meeting last Friday and today I was called back to school for another meeting with the Chem Eng sup. I told them I can't give them a reply immediately. I'm still waiting for a sign.
