I hate dreaming when I'm sick. Last night I was at this party and they decided to start a war in one hour and handed out guns to everyone and everyone was like woohoo yeyyy how fun and I ran away into the woods because I didn't wanna be a part of it. I hope it was paintball or something but scary shit. I usually always have fun and nice dreams I don't wanna be sick anymore  |

I hate unhappy dreams. its been awhile since I was sick, but last time I was, I was drinking a lot of NyQuill, and that stuff made me have crazy dreams, every time. |

Today my colleague asks me on lunch in front of many people if I have made out with Pink. This right after she asks me if Pink knows my name. And before this she asked me when I’m on vacation in May. So from when I’m not at work til that awkward question. And she even didn’t let me answer to any of them because she kept rambling after and I went all red and silent, just because it was kinda awkward to ask that in front of those people. This girl is a bit clumsy when it comes to socializing (who isn’t?) so she didn’t mean anything bad with it. And I didn’t even get the chance to answer before she goes “Well I sure damn would make out with her at least she’s super hot and fit”. Poor thing I think that’s what she wanted to say but didn’t know the best way to change the subject from me being off work to her wanting to make out with a Pink, lol.

I try to avoid talking about work on here but it's kind of a dilemma. One of my researchers is getting a study published any day. It's about extremism and hate groups online (yupp hot topic atm with FB and all that shit) and she has followed these for a long time. The point in that is that her research shows this is a threat to democracy and I know that national media will love this 110%. But, she'll probably end up on the list of people to harass and kill (yupp these groups have a national list of that and three of my top researchers are already on there). At the same time it's tax money and the least we owe people is information about the results. This researcher relies on me and would never question anything I suggest or say. And she usually comes to me for advise about what to do. If it was about ME I'd go for it, but now it's about someone else so atm I'm like "I donno". But it's a job and it just happens to be her that got to do it. So, like, let the police handle the situation if she gets in trouble of course, but I donno. What would you guys do if you were me? Let her make the decision without saying a word about what I think? Because if I tell her what my thoughts are and what I would do, she'll say good let's do that without thinking it through properly.

I'd let her do the decision without at first saying too much of your opinions. I would imagine that even though it's a hard decision she will probably want to publish the study after all the work she's done and the significance of the results. I mean that's why you do the research. But If I were her I would like to have some time to make a conscious decision, instead of just running into the shit storm. But I find it hard to believe that she's not already fully aware of the possible consequences? If I were the researcher I would also appreciate hearing from the people around me that they understand the risks that go with publishing the results but that they will be there for support 100 %. The worst is to feel alone in a situation like that. |

The worst is to feel alone in a situation like that. Thanks for the input. She is aware, but don't think she knows how big this thing could turn out to be. She mentioned some local media already hearing about it and being interested. And I told her do not talk to anyone about this yet. Because doing that even with the local news could make her end up all over the news in the whole country. I think I will tell her about all kinds of possibilities and scenarios to this and let her decide what to do. And put this 100% on her to decide. So no opinions from me at all. There is a way to publish stuff with just the uni name being on it without the authors, so that could be an option if she doesn't feel like she wants creds for it. The sucky thing is that media can't understand shit when reading reports of this kind, so they usually don't get the deal, plus it takes ages for them to even check through it, so the possibility of them not wanting to give it a chance, especially without anyone explaining or talking about the study, is pretty big. They simply don't have the time. I know she's doing this thing with one of our old professors that's on an another university. He's a rock. He's a genius. I'm sure he will support her and be by her side in whatever she decides to do. The other three researchers that are on the list are badass. Media loves them because they are pretty controversial, especially about immigration and inequality. That's why they are so hated by these groups, but they don't give a crap kinda. |

I agree with you and pumpkinshoes.... Also if you like, you could start a discussion without stating your opinion right away. You can ask questions as to her thoughts on it, and see if she asks yours. I sometimes like to just give my opinion on things when not asked, and I know that isn’t always a good thing - I’m trying to be better with it. My coworker Larry is a good w/ this. We had another coworker a couple years back dealing with a huge mess of problems - everybody would put themselves in to it, giving their advice / opinions - which was probably super annoying for this person actually dealing with the problems. Larry was always cool and just listened. That made him one of the best people to go to for advice. It made him seem less judgemental and caring etc etc etc. He always said “I won’t give you my opinion unless you ask for it”, But he is also the type to give 100% his opinion if you ask. If you’re doing something stupid, he’ll say it. He doesn’t sugar coat anything. I guess my point is like you all already said. Let her make her decision on her own. Be an open ear for her to talk to, and be there when she wants your adviceZ |
