A LAB OF MY OWN

Sunday, April 23. 2006

With things settled down back home (as settled as they can be, with Dad running for political office and Kell coping with two mothers-in-law under one roof), I can resume talking about my own blogging self.

As I figured, being assigned to the highly secret stem cell research project has, well, I wouldn't say I've been isolated from the team but I sure don't have as much contact with the others as I used to. If this is a punishment for being a whistle-blower, I don't mind. Without the internal politics of the research team and the constant jockeying for Professor Antlerhead's favor and attention, I get more work done.

I collaborate with just a few other researchers; I wonder what their crime was!

Besides, it's not as if I'm lacking for a social life. Fenton and I see each other at every airborne opportunity, and I've become unexpectedly close to Rhonda. See needs me now, after her breakup with Edgar. Even though she was the one who broke it off, it hit her pretty hard. Fortunately for a tigress, seeking solace through 'comfort food' means she's doing really well on the hunting team.

Poor Rhonda, I hope she starts to feel better soon! Lion guy may look rather attractive but they're just too lazy, maybe now that she's at college she'll have more of a chance to meet another friendly feline who isn't so dependant!

Hey! I'd take offense at that ... if I had the energy to do something about it ...

That's quite alright. You are a member of civilized society. And, the civilized need not get their paws dirty in such affairs.

Being isolated on the 'top secret' project may give Lindesfarne more time to work.

It also shows to the other members of the staff that someone who rocks the boat gets thrown overboard. What justification is being given to the rest of the lab for her 'isolation'? I doubt if Dr. A told everyone, "I cooked the books and she caught me and bailed me out, so I'm giving her a more important position than you guys." I suspect they think she's being kept away from everyone else because she's a trouble-maker or worse.

Don't be surprised if isolation turns into alienation.

I can understand how Rhonda must feel. Even though I'm a guy, I still was the one who broke up with my vixen, and even if you are the one to break up the relationship it still hurts since you did have that time you spent together.

Hey, at least she got something to vent upon.

Take care Lindesfarne,
Ben The Noble Red Fox

i have to agree with Ben. any time true love in involved the ending of the relationship will be harsh on both parties. i hope that for both of their sakes that Edger was not one of those lions that believed in lion polygamy. That would be too much to bear espilly for a nice girl like Rhonda
