My friend (Betalion)

Let me sketch her real quick. Betalion is a law school professor. She is a straight talker. She say a lot of "F&*%" on the cellphone. She is demanding, as I can see from her interaction with her husband and RA. She just cannot shut up, not in a bad way though.

I work for her recently on a project she has to finish soon. In fact, I need to work on that tonight after the blogging. She is up for tenure review. A lot of stress, as you can imagine. She is lucky to have me, as I am commited to get it done. On my part, I get paid well, and now I have a good contact in law school.

Three examples of her straight talks.
1. She gave me the time sheet, and said, "Hey, I paid you with a good hourly rate, so do not screw me over with the number of hours. Okey?"
2. She was talking about something else, but somehow she segwayed into something like "my marriage is falling apart, but that's my problem to deal with."
3. "I hate ASA. It is too hieararchical." That's exactly what I feel. I never speak that out lout, but nothing can stop Betalion from saying that.

It is quick a shock to hear those initially. But on the second tought, why are not everything like her, to speak out honestly what they think? Now if you would excuse me, I can going to do some hard-shit work for her project now. F&*%.
